      Pre-sales Data Scientist Interview

      Sep 19, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Sydney
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DataRobot (Sydney) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      4 rounds (I had limited Data Science experience so went through a less technical path) 1. Screening interview with a Hiring Manager. Overall problem solving applied to Data Science and how I can leverage my previous technical experience and skills to excel in a Data Science focused pre-sales role; 2. Screening interview with the Head of Sales - overall pre-sales experience + client friendliness and communication skills 3. Technical interview with a Customer Facing Data Science lead. Mostly overall problem solving questions applied to relatable data science problems + more of a friendly chat to understand how much I already know 4. Demo the product to senior leaders at DataRobot from different team. Overall was quite friendly and understanding of how much I knew about DS and the platform - some challenging questions but mostly to help me cover areas I missed + see my on the spot problem solving. (ample time to prep and the hiring was very supportive with questions I had in regards to this stage as I was prepping for it) Overall pretty friendly process and positive people. All the meetings were booked quickly and although the process had quite a few stages we progressed through it relatively quickly ~3-4 weeks for 4 stages (partly because of my other full time work commitments)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is Data Science and ML? How would you go about building an algorithm to measure complexity of written text for language learners? How would you approach a first meeting with a Head of Marketing at a large bank interested in the platform. Demo the product to a client X.
