Great interview experience, the company was very responsive and made a quick decision. However, the company's focus on algorithms didn't really align with the practical skills needed for an engineering role.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Could you implement the algorithm in a language of your choice?

So, it wasn't really an interview, more like technical tests. They gave me one SQL problem, which was pretty easy to medium, and then I had to do a machine learning modeling task in a Jupyter notebook. The tests weren't super hard, but they definitely took a lot of time.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • An SQL problem (easy to medium level)
  • A machine learning modeling in jupyter notebook
