The on-site interviews were not so easy. One thing to note: I have 20 years of experience and a strong track record of getting results. The interviewers had zero interest in what I've done before. Instead it was white boarding all the way. Felt more like an old-school math class -- go to the board and solve this problem -- than a job interview. Toughest question? Honestly, this was 4 years ago and I don't recall precisely. I think it was how to determine mean standard deviation of two blended datasets for which you know their means and standard deviations (and maybe Ns) but for which you've lost the original data. Turns out it's a classic you'll probably encounter in first year statistics, but I hadn't thought about it in about 25 years and so stumbled.
If we keep characters of a string by probability of p what is the average/standard deviation of size of string? write a subroutine to compute the average string size.
Graph search question, shortest path from A->B according to a given time schedule.
What is the expected minimum value of two variables i.i.d from [0,1]?
He asked me what the assumptions of linear regression are.
The coding was really easy, they care a lot about stats knowledge. Probability, bayes ruls (but not in the straight forward way), i got asked about pvalues, paired 2 sample t-tests, and the formula for r^2.
How do you estimate the probability of people who are left-hand and own bicycle?
Q: how would I assess if Chrome makes people search more with Google with respect to other search engines?
How do you generate a 1/4 probability using just coin flips? 1/3 probability? 1/pi probability?
