Standard questions about how I tackle business and data problems etc. However, as a data scientist I noticed one potentially red flag: the company is new and fresh in their data science department (although they have a solid data engineering and reporting base), but they want to start straight with GenAI/LLM stuff (Chat-GPT and whatnot). For those unfamiliar: it is pretty much a guaranteed pitfall as people would be using super-complex tools with zero knowledge of their inner workings (think of learning to run before you can walk).
