Behavioral Technical Coding
First, there was a phone screen where they asked about my resume and past experiences, and also some casual questions like if I like sports. Then, I interviewed with the head of data science. They asked some technical questions about Python and SQL, but not too deep. After that, I got a take-home test which was a sports analytics project using Python and SQL. Finally, I talked with one of the data scientists on the team. This interview was pretty similar to the one with the Head of Data Science, and we also talked about sports!
