I applied online. I interviewed at Deloitte (London, England) in Sep 2017
Interview
Had a call with a principle Sourcing Specialist. Talked about my current work, my programming languages choices, notice period, current salary, salary expectation. This is so far my worst experience of an interview or a phone call in general. The interviewer was late and seemed in a hurry. Normally interviewers would explain the role a bit and ask interviewees whether they have any questions about the role, but not this time. In addition, he apparently had little knowledge about the role that we were talking about, since he seemed to think that someone doing postdoc in a statistics department in university won't have a chance to able to handle the data in Deloitte. Certainly I share a big part of the fault here: I should generalise all my skills and my projects so that he can understand me. This is also my only advice to anyone who is applying for the similar role.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte (Zaventem)
Interview
They have an interface where you see all of your applications and their status. Most applications are viewed by the hiring manager within a few days. First it was an HR interview, then a technical challenge, then interview with the hiring manager and the last step would be with the boss of the manager.
HR rep asked me if I would be ok with a lower salary than the one I get now, and when I said no they asked if money was my motivation which I honestly found quite impolite.
Hiring manager interview was ok, however I was shortly rejected from the position because I didn't have a technical skill which I never stated I had in my CV. They could have very easily read my CV more carefully and rejected me directly, instead of putting me in two rounds of interviews and making me spend time on the technical challenge.

Question 1
Questions on my motivation, expertise and why I am looking to change.
El proceso de entrevista para el puesto de Data Scientist en Deloitte fue profesional, aunque demasiado largo y con muchas fases. Hubo varias entrevistas técnicas y de recursos humanos, además de ejercicios prácticos. Aunque los entrevistadores fueron amables y el proceso estuvo bien organizado, considero que podría ser más ágil y eficiente.

Question 1
Me mostraron varios gráficos y dashboards con datos de negocio y me pidieron interpretar tendencias, detectar anomalías y explicar qué conclusiones tomaría a partir de los datos. También preguntaron cómo comunicaría esos resultados a clientes no técnicos.
First round is CV scan and intro interview. 2nd round is a technical interview (take home), which aims to solve a classification problem, and 3rd round is team culture fit
