They basically ask you how to solve their major and scale limiting problems which they haven't figured out yet. Seems like a fishing expedition for ideas and then they don't have to pay you for those ideas. Position is still open 3 months after my interview.

Very poor from the interviewer. The coding test was in hacker rank. I found just a question close to daily data tasks in the industry; it was a SQL question. The rest of 4 questions were very academic, or about coding a pure algorithm from scratch. There were no questions about data manipulation with pandas, data science with statsmodels and ml predictions with scikit-learn. Not even close to evaluate the daily skills that a data scientist uses in a start-up like Chiper.
