Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They gave me a csv file and asked to perform various things using pandas, numpy
3 back to back interview. pretty easy and straightforward with mostly behavioral than technical. "technical" questions revolved around ml concepts. the interviewers were pretty chill and overall was a good process
Skipped the first round and had 3 interviews back to back, one with a PM and two with Data Scientists. Be prepared to go in depth about a project on your resume and justify each decision you made in completing that project.
