      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      May 11, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Sydney
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at WooliesX (Sydney) in May 2021

      Interview

      3 rounds. First was technical assessment carried by recruiter over video call. 45-50 mins each for python and machine learning. Very difficult but good assessment to gauge competency especially under stress. Time is very limited. Second round was high level technical plus personality plus cultural interview with Head of Data Science. Last round was with a lead data scientist/ chapter head which is purely technical. Very good assessment, high quality scenario based questions about the ML workflow.
