I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DataRobot (Hyderābād) in Nov 2020
Interview
Took nearly 2+ months with 7 rounds in total. Except for the first introductory round and a presentation round (where you have to make a presentation on one of your built product/use-case) in between all other 5 rounds were exactly the same. A person from the leadership role could show up as the interviewer, take the inital 10-15 mins to explain about DataRobot and the CFDS role you've applied for. The remaining 30 mins would be for you to explain your Data Science journey so far. Its not even a proper technical interview. So you can guess what kind of work they would have. The worst thing is they take so much of your time (nearly 2.5 months) about 7 rounds to finally tell you "sorry, but we'll keep your resume for future opportunities and have decided to not move forward with your candidacy".

Question 1
Could you present to us something you've previously worked on
The process included several rounds of talking with first a recruiter, then members of the team I was joining. It culminated with a presentation interview to two current employees posing as customers
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DataRobot (Washington, DC) in Nov 2021
Interview
Approximately 5 technical (virtual) interviews and 1 behavioral. The technical interviews were highly repetitive in asking about the same supervised machine learning algorithms, pros/cons, and troubleshooting steps. Felt like there was no continuity between interviewers. Technical interviewers were adequate (but not excellent) technical communicators, but they were looking for very specific answers. Once I hit some arbitrary threshold of answering a question correctly, they'd interrupt and fire off the next question.
