Associate Research Scientist Interview Questions

4,832 associate research scientist interview questions shared by candidates

Behavioural questions were only several and focused on their core values. They sent me the PDF sheet with those before the interview with instructions on how to structure my responses. Technical questions were related to the basics of the field I interviewed for and more complex small case studies.

I went through interview questions posted in the interview reviews on glassdoor for the Research Scientist position. Most of them are about research questions and details about the interviewees technical presentation. I have not been asked even a single question about my research or even questions related to machine learning though the position title is research scientist in machine learning. The questions I had were all about undergrad CS fundamentals like boggle finder for word in 2D grid, double linked list insertion (the easiest question), compute the value intervals of each node in a binary tree, and computational complexity of different search and sorting algorithms. Very disappointed about my interview which doesn't match with the title of the job position.
