Sr Data Scientist Interview Questions

3,380 sr data scientist interview questions shared by candidates

The 1st interview was a poorly framed problem, more like an 'open ended question'. It was related to graph databases and advanced clustering algorithms - don't think k-means, definitely way more advanced than that! The 2nd interview was with an engineer, and that involves solving a problem they have in reality and you are meant to propose a full end-to-end solution - again totally unrealistic to expect this when they haven't even solved this problem themselves! By the 3rd interview I was sure I didn't want to work there - the interviewer wasn't motivational in any way. She then moved hastily to a 'measurement' question which was technical too - how to measure whether an Ad was successful or not in a very specific scenario.

Why MeshAI, why I choose x model, and why I evaluated in such a way. Questions about my approach, and business context about my solution (reducing FP/FN implications). Experience with generative AI. Any projects with difficult stakeholders.
