Technical Coding Behavioral

I had four interviews all in one day. First up was a software engineer who asked about the web stack. Then, two data scientists dove into algorithms, data structures, and statistics with me. The last interview was with a senior manager about how data science can be used in business. Everything went fine and I got feedback pretty quickly.

Behavioral Coding

If you're not sure about getting the position, don't bother applying because they won't reimburse your travel costs even though they said they would. First, chat with the head about your general background, then have a technical interview with another data scientist.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you tell me about your experience?
  • Do you have any coding questions for me?
