I signed an NDA, but be VERY comfortable with their leadership principles.
Scientist Ii Interview Questions
705 scientist ii interview questions shared by candidates
Describe a time when your colleague has confronted you about work. Which is the best technical project you have worked upon?
First round: - phone/video interview with one person. - Asked the typical DS interview questions (overfitting/cross validation), talked about my ML experiences. - Asked a basic coding question: given an animal, print out the noise it makes. Basic things like polymorphism/inheritance, briefly touched on string similarity Second round in person (5 interviews): - Lots of leadership principle/behavioral questions - One coding interview. Given a database of book titles and number of copies sold, how do you identify the top N most-sold books. Basic algorithm/data structures of things like priority queues/heaps, space-time complexity analysis, live-coding. Even if you miss the correct data structure, they provide some hints along the way so you can complete the problem - Multiple DS interviews, from things like typical DS interview questions and your ML experience, to an applied DS question (deduplicating transactions, how would you solve this problem, how would you build/train/score a model, how would you scale it)
motivation, compatibliity, why leave academia
What is your background and how will you fit in this role?
Write a simple algorithm to decide on when to buy and sell stocks to maximize profit
On the phone screen, I was asked questions typical of the area of applied science I applied. Since the phone screening was easy, I did not prepare a lot for the onsite. However, at the on-site, they asked me way deeper questions than I expected and I failed to answer some of them.
