Data Science Interview Experiences

They sent the interview questions beforehand which was helpful. Part of it included a powerpoint you would create beforehand. Interview was 1 hour long. I was a part of the finance team, was quite low on work so had to find ways to spend my time. Was not a very technical role, more so involved helping co-workers with their tasks, manual entry, learning the tools they use like TPON. Did not have any co-op supports at the start in terms of meeting with the other co-ops, or any training sessions. You would learn how to do a task from your manager/co-worker directly. Were some online training modules.

Typical behavioral questions and then some technical questions like writing sql query, data cleaning, and then a case study on machine learning techniques. Interviewers were very friendly and accomodating.

Multi-stage interview First round was with HR, I was asked standard behavioural questions about myself and my interest in the role. Second round was a technical interview. Had to complete 2 easy/medium array manipulation-type coding questions on the spot and walk through my approach. Next I was asked some theoretical questions relating to statistics and data manipulation (topics included variance, confusion matrix ,etc). The last question was a logic puzzle about pouring water in a cup.

Typical behavioral, they did ask about a time you failed and what you would do if a member of your team was underperforming. Interviewer did not give clear answer to my question at the end even after asking twice. One of the interviewers appeared disengaged and was clearly very uninterested. Overall a pretty bad experience. In the end the position was canceled.

The Interview was in-person at thier Kitchener location. I was asked basic questions about the tools I've used and the courses I've taken. They explained the role and the expectations well. Following which, I was given a hypothetical task and timeline and was asked how I would set milestones I was the first intern they had hired for this team, so it was a learning experience for my manager as well.

First half behavioral, interviewer didn't ask much just 3 questions but did ask me what kind of startup I would start if I were to build one. Second half technical with excel and coding on hackerrank

Typical behavioral. They did ask about a time you failed or where at fault, how you dealt with it and what you learned. Interviewers were very friendly and accomodating. The position was canceled in the end

One HR interview asked me to introduce myself and walk her through my resume then another 30 min interview with manager we talked about the team and role mainly why I'd be interested etc.

Asked me about my projects mostly then some situational questions pretty easy overall just one interview

First half was behavioral then asked some easy technical questions related to unsupervised learning and difference between overfitting/underfitting. They were friendly and one interview only before I got the offer

The interviewer asked about my interests, if I would be willing to take the SOA or CAS exams in the future. They asked a lot about projects that were on my resume and like to ask a lot of follow up questions. From what I know you were required to stay in the office until Dec 24 since its a very busy time for them.

Only one interview, questions about Power BI and Excel nothing difficult. The interviewer was friendly we talked about hobbies and personal interests near the end also

Typical behavioral questions. A small technical part at the end where they ask you to write a mockup in gherkin for one of the features on their website.

Basically just walk through everything on my resume and asking in depth which tech I used and how I used it.
