      Ds Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fair (Santa Monica, CA) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      I talked to Fair from university career fair because I really liked their product. (Ever since I saw them from one of the youtube ads... lol) Anyways, I've stayed connected with one of the developers who came to the event and asked for referral as soon as internship position opened up. I got to 3 rounds of interview with the team members (two interviewers at a time). It was my first time interviewing for DS intern position, so, I did not know what to expect. I didn't do a great job on the coding part. (I haven't been coding for awhile prior to the interview...) Overall experience was very pleasant. The recruiter was quick with response and interviewers were very nice and helpful. +I really liked talking to each individual member of the team.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      1. Business a) Given Pre-existing # of customers(100) -> Referees(10x) -> Joining Customers(25%) -> New Customers to Buyer Conversion Rate(0.5%), Money given to Referrer($25 per Referees), and Money Given to Buyers($1000). i) Find Customer Acquisition Cost. (It's worded differently) ii) Derive a Formula with variables. iii) What kind of impacts can each variable give to CAC? b) Say a company sells chair at $250. There are 50,000 ppl who visit the website and 2% of the customers buy chair during their visit. Profit margin is 27%. (In January) Time goes by and it's February. Company decides to do 10% discount and is expecting same amount of people will visit the website. What percent of "customer conversion rate" do we need in order to match the dollar amount profit value from January? (Fortunately, you don't have to think about time value of money.)

      Question 2

      2. Coding: Python in Jupyter Notebook a) Simple Algorithm Question. (For me, it was finding non-repeating characters in a given string and print all of them. Bonus points, if you can take care of Lower and Upper cases.) b) Data Processing

      Question 3

      3. ML: They ask you stuff on your resume and some hypothetical questions. Example of hypothetical questions is: Given the data of users, (search queries, time spent on the app, time they installed the app, etc.) how might we find potential customers (buyers)?
