Email from the recruiter with a link to a pre-assessment. The assessment was mainly data analytics and statistics. I didn't get through to the in person aspect. The pre-assessment had very little to do with the day to day responsibilities of the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A paraphrased question: A company has a profit of 100% in 2017 and costs increased 1.5x each year. What is the ROI in 2019. Choose the best answer.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Agoda (Bangkok) in Oct 2024
Interview
It was worthless spending time for going through the interviews. 1st round > 1. Coding: Easy to medium dynamic programming questions in Python. 2. A maths problem from probability. Both the questions are so boring and nothing to do with day-to-day data science job. I think they focus on engineering aspect and hence ask such data structure and algorithm problems. The worst part was the interviewer's dullness. No clarity on asking, no hint. It is like the question has been given, you solve it with optimal solution. It could have been a hackerrank round rather than live coding. Don't waste your time if you've not extensively practised on your DSA skills and core revision of stats and probability. 2nd & 3rd Round: On core ML skills. Here also random questions from algorithms. No flow of connecting to your recent work. Very absurd interview style. Can't recommend !

I applied online. I interviewed at Agoda (Kuala Lumpur) in Sep 2024
Interview
The interview session with Agoda is not your typical interview with questions such “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”. They mainly focus on your past experiences and how you deal with challenges. Basically the whole interview session will make you feel like you are having a normal day-to-day conversation with someone. However, it is very important to do some research on the company’s values and relate with it.
