1. Take home assignment with 10 or so questions explaining the approach and why that approach kind of questions.
2. A VC with 2 + interviewers asking questions on data structures (merge of lists with multiple variations) + question on complexity of each variation + probability (Bayes theorem) + Experiment design
The interview seemed to me to have gone well as they keep increasing the complexity of the questions with increasing variations. It cost as I was struggling a bit with their 4th variation on data structure and probably a bit to recollect details during the experimentation design round. But it seems they have a very high standard and are looking for a full stack data scientist who is good as a software engineer, ML and statistics. Nonetheless, it was a good experience. They were quite fast with their interview results which was good as you dont have to suffer the anxious waiting periods.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1
merge 2 sorted lists + explain complexity
explain complexity of sorted()
i think there was one more variation here that I dont remember
merge 2 sorted lists with and return another with no repeated items + explain complexity
2
You want to buy a puppy. the owner chooses one of the litters at random and then chooses a random puppy in the litter.
Litter1 = [brown,brown,grey,grey] , Litter2 =[brown,brown,brown,grey,grey]
1. What is the probability of getting a brown puppy?
2. If you got a brown puppy, what is the probability it came from L1?
3

did any corp have an unusually large amount of deaths. explain approach in detail
4.
Explain t-test
Explain pvalue
How would you test for normality
How would you compare and test non-normal distributions
Explain Mann Whitney u
I was put through 7 interviews over the course of 4 months. I didn't even meet anyone on my team until the final interview. The communication with HR was terrible. I had a surprise live coding assessment.
Interview process was very organized, had a take home challenge that I finished and shared and had a zoom interview with 2 of their engineers. had 2 easy/medium python questions and some statistics questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Indeed (Bengaluru) in Aug 2024
Interview
Got an email from HR saying my resume was shortlisted, followed by a 1 on 1 screening round. Did not find my experiencerince relavant. No other feedback was given.
Discussion about my projects and past experiences.
