I interviewed for a Data Scientist role in the new Chrome team in the Warsaw office, right after finishing my PhD. Out of three rounds of interviews, I had completed two. The first one is the call with HR. It consisted mainly of two questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about yourself. Walk me through your CV.
2. Would the pace and speed of projects be a potential weakness for someone of your background in switching from academia to industry?
The interview was challenging but insightful. I faced unexpected technical questions that tested my problem-solving skills under pressure. While I stumbled initially, I regained composure and communicated my thought process clearly. Overall, it was a valuable learning experience.
Good interview. It was an interesting process and I hope to move on in another company. I liked my interviewer, he was a nice guy and I think he was smart.
