Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
It was a pretty standard interview process for a Data Scientist role, but everything was really smooth and clear. Unlike some of the super long ones I've done before, the interviews in the same round were scheduled within a couple of days, which gave me a good idea of where I stood. The interviewers were all friendly, professional, and asked good, prepared questions. The team and HR kept me updated after each stage. The interview involved talking with HR, the team leader, and some team members. After that, I had a take-home exercise to test my skills on a Data Science problem. It was a challenging problem, but they weren't looking for a perfect solution, more so my logical approach and thought process. Finally, I had to give a presentation to discuss my findings with the team.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was really good. It had two main parts. First, you met the whole team in several meetings to discuss your past work and projects. Second, there was a take-home assignment that gave you a feel for the type of work they do. It was one of the best interview experiences I've had. No timed tests or definition questions. They really value honesty, critical thinking, resourcefulness, communication, openness to learning, and a bit of a hacking spirit. It's key to be honest and prepared to talk about your previous projects.
