Operations Research Engineer Interview Questions

563 operations research engineer interview questions shared by candidates

In both interviews they asked some random case studies. I presumed they were at managerial positions with no hands on expertise. They just know the terms. Very easily, and confidently I talked rubbish using the same jargons mixed with intermittent clustering, classification etc etc. Nobody on either side of the phone or F2F had any clue what was being discussed. Just be confident. Anyways, in regular work you just need to do data cleaning or some hopeless coding in the role.

The outside of a cube is painted blue. It is then divided into 27 equally sized smaller cubes (like a Rubik's cube). If a smaller cube is selected at random and thrown on the floor what is the probability that all five visible faces are NOT blue?
