First had an interview with HR, which was a very unpleasant conversation. She pushed me to tell my current salary and my other offers, while I mentioned I felt uncomfortable to share. The second round was a more technical round. The interviewer did not try to make me feel comfortable, which is just maybe their approach. It was not a conversation but more a technical test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked the basic data science questions such as what is overfitting and explaining different types of models.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Avanade (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2023
Interview
It starts with a recruiter screening to assess background and fit. This is followed by a technical interview with coding challenges or problem-solving exercises. A behavioral interview evaluates teamwork and adaptability. Finally, candidates meet with the hiring manager or a panel for a deeper discussion on technical skills and past projects.
Two rounds of interview, both exactly the same. Rudely got told on the phone by a disgruntled recruited that I performed poorly, and that she would let me know the outcome in the future. Never got back to me
