I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2019
Interview
First, they go through my resume and introduce the team. There are two phone interviews where they ask us to implement logistic regression from scratch and the theory of linear regressions.
It was not that bad, 3 initial rounds overall okay, it would have been nice if they added some more depth in questions and asked good questions.
and it would have been great if they call or tell something before interview.
A former colleague referred me to the data scientist position, and I was excited to dive in. The interview process was intense, starting with a phone screen that led to a technical round focused on SQL and experiment design. I was asked to write a complex SQL query and design an experiment for a forecasting model. Lucky timing — I had reviewed similar questions on prachub.com during my prep, which really helped boost my confidence. After a final behavioral round, I received an offer and happily accepted.

terrible Data Scientist role interview process, took 3 months and got rejected after final interview where the interviewer didn't have my resume and asked something else which the recruiter did not mention to prepare
