Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at General Motors (GM) in Jan 2026
Interview
1. Initial screen in Codility, this was a little strange as it asked questions that you'd do in a notebook (e.g. make a plot of this) in a scripting environment.
2. Recruiter call that covered basic questions on my resume.
3. Automatic rejection email
It seems my rejection was based on the background described in my resume, so unfortunate to spend time on 2 rounds when that could have been known from the beginning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic pandas analysis of data. Seemed to be more a filter step than a test of skills.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your input and will take your feedback to our recruitment team.
Interview
Coding assessment through Codility. They give you 50 minutes to write a linear regression model predicting housing prices (toy example) from scratch (no sklearn). Unless you have recently memorized the formulas or are in school currently working with them, this assignment was ridiculous.

Get a response from recruiter one month after applied online. He sent me a 4 questions hirevue, the questions self is not hard, but I did not prepare my self ready and did not answer well. Also I dont feel comfortable to talking to my cameras. Maybe need more practice.
