I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Indeed (El Paso, TX) in Sep 2017
Interview
3 interviews were conducted.
The initial interview was a phone interview with a Capgemini recruiter.
The 2nd interview was a face-to-face (in-person) interview that consisted of basic call center management interview questions.
The 3rd interview was more of an interrogation, not a professional and structured interview process. The interviewer had a client who accompanied him during the interview process, but the interviewer and the client spoke to each other in another language (other than English) in front of me prior to the commencement of the interview. This interviewer was extremely arrogant, disrespectful, condescending, and argumentative.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Tell me about your professional experience."
"How do you get employees to produce results?"
"How do you adjust to be able to meet Service Level/Occupancy requirements?"
"What times and days are you available to work?"
"Are you able to travel for work purposes?"
1. Take home assignment with 10 or so questions explaining the approach and why that approach kind of questions.
2. A VC with 2 + interviewers asking questions on data structures (merge of lists with multiple variations) + question on complexity of each variation + probability (Bayes theorem) + Experiment design
The interview seemed to me to have gone well as they keep increasing the complexity of the questions with increasing variations. It cost as I was struggling a bit with their 4th variation on data structure and probably a bit to recollect details during the experimentation design round. But it seems they have a very high standard and are looking for a full stack data scientist who is good as a software engineer, ML and statistics. Nonetheless, it was a good experience. They were quite fast with their interview results which was good as you dont have to suffer the anxious waiting periods.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1
merge 2 sorted lists + explain complexity
explain complexity of sorted()
i think there was one more variation here that I dont remember
merge 2 sorted lists with and return another with no repeated items + explain complexity
2
You want to buy a puppy. the owner chooses one of the litters at random and then chooses a random puppy in the litter.
Litter1 = [brown,brown,grey,grey] , Litter2 =[brown,brown,brown,grey,grey]
1. What is the probability of getting a brown puppy?
2. If you got a brown puppy, what is the probability it came from L1?

Dropped off resume at career fair, was offered a technical screen interview the next day. Had 2 people interview me, asked me some questions about my resume and a data structure design problem.
