Lead Data Scientist Interview Questions
409 lead data scientist interview questions shared by candidates
Mainly behavioral questions. Describe a time you faced a difficult situation.... Most of the questions started with management type questions. How many people you managed, etc.? The role did not ask for any management experience. Although I did. I quickly adapted to the questions. Have you ever done natural language processing (NLP)? I answered, some but nothing production capable. Well that's 50% of this job. If its 50%, why am I here? My resume did not have anything about NLP, and the job description had one line about it. Amazing. Then some more behavioral questions, and how you ever used <insert app name>?
How will you improve yourself in this rapidly changing field?
After one hour face to face interview with couple of tech leads I was assigned a skill test to complete by the HR team. The skill test focuses on (i) SQL skill and coding (ii) data modelling skills and coding. The supplied data is their own dataset so any solutions you suggest are straightaway useful for them. The promise was once the results and code are submitted the chief scientist will do a technical assessment of the method and or results through an interview.
Tell me about your experience. Why did you apply for this position?
Tell me about a time when getting stakeholder buy-in was difficult but critical for project success.
Gave a Case study to solve using LSTM and 10 days to solve it. After they reviewed the solution, I was called back for another round, and a deep dive on the approach and process was done. Some technical questions on working of LSTM Gates, and the data pre processing approach was tested
Experience with CPG data analysis?
When I was able to start?
The Technical interview revolved around NLP and CV problems. For the assignment, there were two questions. Build an API for image similarity and build an API to tag product titles with different attributes. The tagging problem also had a set of titles to be tagged and sent back. The time limit was 2 days.
