Interview questions [1]
Question 1
year over year changes, bagging vs boosting, map vs apply a function in python, what if no enough samples to achieve the significance level required by the experiment.
I took a technical test, a technical phone screen, and had a virtual onsite interview. The position I was being considered for was changed in the middle, which could have been communicated better, though I applied through a recruiter. The change resulted in extra interviews and a lengthier process.
Phone screen, tech phone screen with coderpad sql, on site w/ couple of people from different teams. Overall heavy emphasis on the stats, not much actual coding. Roles are not for engineers, may want to pay attention to it
Total three rounds interview, pretty typical. Talk about projects, previous working experience, asking machine learning questions, ab testing and case study. They much care about how you solve the problem.
