      Data Science Intern Interview

      Feb 9, 2021

      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Duolingo in Nov 2020

      Interview

      3 part interview: 1) 30 min phone call with University Recruiter (easy, friendly, talked about my experience, etc.) 2) Take home challenge. Given a data set, code up analysis, include code in response and write 1-2 page report with findings/learnings. They said it should take 5-6 hrs, I spent ~2x that. This was stressful, they only gave 48hrs to do it, but it was also really fun. 3) Virtual interviews with a recruiter and 3 Duolingo employees. A (very easy) SQL task, chat/problem solving with a Data Scientist, and an interview about how I work on a team. All told, ~2.5 hrs. They got back to me quickly at all stages (including rejection). Everybody was really nice. Not sure what ruled me out, but I was definitely disappointed not to get to work there. Hope that someone great got the job!

      Application

      I interviewed at Duolingo

      Interview

      Take home task and then interviews with employees. Straightforward interviews - behavioral, data cleaning, machine learning, SQL coding test (no probability or stats). Focused more on details of the actual data manipulation than other firms. Felt like they were looking for a person of a specific background
