      Data Scientist Interview

      Aug 17, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Tokyo
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Tokyo) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      I got a call from the recruiter and despite saying that I'm not very into it they encouraged me to give it a go and I did. They have a very structured interview process: 1- Had a long chat with recruiter talking about different stages of the process 2. Received a take-home assignment with 7-10 days deadline, after submission they asked me for another interview 3. In the emails, they said it's going to be a deep CV-walk through, which turned out to be the technical interview. In the interview (~1 hr), they ask questions in different majors of data science: probability, coding, ML. I hated the experience, very dry and it felt that I was talking to two robots and not humans. 4. Then there was another round of interviews after this. Finally, I did not get what was the aim of giving a take-home assignment, it's silly that no one ask any questions regarding this. They made an excuse that this is for you to prepare for the technical interview but that technical interview was textbook questions I passed years back. All the interview processes happened online.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - A Bays textbook example (fair and unfair coins) - Some python simple algorithm codes and calculating the complexity of the method - Some ML questions about different methods and how the learning happens and objective functions ....

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and for taking the time to attend the interviews. A positive candidate experience is one of the biggest goals within our Talent Attraction team, so we are disappointed to hear that you had a poor experience with us. Our take-home assignments are intended to give candidates an opportunity to solve open-ended problems in a rigorous manner, and make tradeoffs between complexity and generalization in their data science solutions. This also helps us get to know the candidates better in terms of their technical and analytical skills. We strive to give our candidates a personable experience during conversations in interviews as we understand that each candidate is different, and brings their own unique skills and talent to the table. So we are disappointed to hear that you felt the conversations during the interview were not engaging. We will share your feedback with the relevant teams. Your feedback helps us better understand how we can improve our interview process, so we really appreciate it. If you’d like to have a more confidential chat, please email us at inside@indeed.com Thank you.
