Each interview was with a totally different person and pretty distinct. It helps to be familiar with data science and engineering and academic research. Was asked to design a database as well as some numerical code in ds interview.

In the second half of the interview, I was asked to design a recommendation system for confluence, to recommend articles. NOTE: They say that they ask system design question according to the resume or our previous experience, but I havent worked on a recommendation system previously. So it might be a question based on the teams requirement. The interviewer mentioned that he has experience working on recommendation and it is his field of expertise.
