Behavioral Technical
I had a great experience interviewing. The entire process felt very conversational and human-centered, which put me at ease. I talked with the CTO and a few team leads about my past work, focusing on the technical details.

Technical Coding
It was mostly informal with a lot of technical discussion about specific networking and service discovery technologies. The first interview involved a short exercise. The subsequent interviews were largely informal but concentrated on your Linux and Kubernetes knowledge.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
Really negative interview experience here, and honestly not surprised given some of the reviews I've seen (also, the positive reviews seem super sus, and I'm pretty sure at least one negative review vanished). Started with an easy initial assessment that took about 45 minutes – some lengthy calculations but basically easy concepts. The next few steps were also pretty easy, and I actually enjoyed the clustering project. Then came the onsite where I met with some senior leadership and lead data scientists. Most people were nice, but two out of the five or six I met seemed kind of incompetent, like they were fresh out of college. One of them said something completely wild, claiming that no one, not even in finance, uses machine learning the way they do. Oh, and one interviewer had their phone buzzing non-stop on the table. Earlier on, there were also big delays, like months, in getting responses.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Some interviewers discussed the problems they are currently facing.
- Only one interviewer asked questions in a well-structured manner.

Technical Coding Other
First, there were 4 straightforward probability questions. Then, a phone screen with a data scientist where they asked basic definition questions about machine learning concepts. After that, a technical assessment with more probability questions and a coding assignment in Python involving data analysis, plus some SQL questions. They gave a week for this part. It wasn't the clearest assessment, but they were helpful if you had questions. Finally, a call with the Data Science head to go over the technical assessment, followed by a half-day onsite interview talking with the team leads. The atmosphere wasn't very stressful.
Confirmed questions7 questions
- Asked about conditional probability problems.
- Asked to describe basic concepts like regularization.
- Asked to explain the difference between MLE and Bayesian estimates.
