Behavioral Technical Case

I was contacted by a headhunter. The process has 3 steps, starting with an HR fit, then moving to a technical interview with a senior data scientist from MLDL, and finally a last interview with a director or partner involving a tech case study.

Behavioral Technical Case

It was a 3-interview process plus an English test. The first two interviews were by phone, and the last one was in person. The in-person interview included a 2-hour data case study, followed by a 1.5-hour discussion with a manager from the DataLab. The very first 30-minute interview was a quick chat with a recruiter who would follow up on the application and provide feedback after each stage. The second interview was about 1.5 hours long.
