Data Scientist Interview

Mar 22, 2022

Anonymous Interview Candidate

No offer

Negative experience

Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2021

Interview

It seems that the interviewer does not know what I was telling about and neither do I. Some of the interviewers are extremely unprofessional. They require me to join the table in python. I asked them if I can join them by SQL. They told me no.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

Analysis chart. Design an algorithm to separate different clusters. Find common friends' friends by PYTHON!!

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)

Interview

Applied online, was contacted by a recruiter, and did the technical phone screen. Overall, the questions just seemed like I was taking a statistics exam. You need to know the the underlying assumptions of statistical tests . Coding was done in a google doc, and mostly only required knowledge of base or built-in functions in your language of choice.
