Director Data Science Interview Questions

453 director data science interview questions shared by candidates

Had an HR round and then a technical round where we talked about projects and then a case study. The issue is that the case study is a tough problem that they are dealing with; that is, something they have a whole team dedicated to and have been thinking about for months to years. Yet you are supposed to solve it in just a few minutes! So it really is not a fair assessment but that's how all tech interviews are today. One thing was the interviewer kept interrupting and didn't let me finish so I just figured he was trying to drive me toward to a set of exploratory questions on the case study. I did answer every question but got turned down.

I received an email with a take-home assessment. The email stated that the assignment will be submitted within 48 hrs of the email received and asked the results to be sent within 2-3 days. The result never comes till 14 days pass. They don't care about giving the feedback until multiple follow up and when I followed up multiple times and they have multiple excuses. It seems like the services-based company interview process for me, is not a start-up. Seems like all the values and discussion happened at the initial stage went into the box after seeing their interview process.
