Round 1

The interview with the data scientist was pleasant, focusing mainly on past projects and experience, as well as how I handled situations that actually arose.

1.5 Practical exercise

I was given a Covid-19 dataset and asked to dig out insights from it. Other than that, there were no restrictions (?!).

Round 2

Interview with two internal data managers (they were 5 minutes late)

They asked about my past experience and areas they were interested in, but the questions mainly focused on “Which ML models have you actually used in production?” The same question was repeated at least three times.

I wanted to ask about their actual past projects, but I could not get any details out of them. It was just as empty and directionless as the 1.5 practical exercise. The interviewers also did not discuss or provide feedback on the interview content (even for the 1.5 exercise, they only asked me to explain it, with no room for any further discussion afterward).

The interview process with the two managers was full of arrogance and impatience. Even when I asked what hardware or cloud resources were available in the organization, they were evasive. Instead, they first questioned what problem I wanted to solve and whether it was valuable enough to require additional resources, and only then considered whether it was “worthwhile” to address the need.

They seem to really like asking, “How much do you know about us?” You are already an internally virtually integrated organization, so what exactly are you trying to ask with this question?
