Codesignal test followed by 2 technical case interviews
- 1st one: I wasnt informed there was a live coding session. Only prepared for the technical case. If you did not have any experience in that domain (e.g. optimization), tackling the case will be tough
Overall, interviews very focused on case more than theory/technical. May not suit everyone. Also have a feel that the team might not actually be hiring and just doing A/B testing on their job titles. Discovered that they reposted the exact same JD under different titles
I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Boston, MA)
Interview
Coding challenge, then soft skills which i did not get to. Coding challenge was online timed in a third party tool. Not very hard but needed more time and didnt move quick enough.
The process includes six stages: HR screening, CodeSignal online assessment, basic pandas and data science case interview, followed by three business case interviews focused on practical problem-solving and business impact.
