      Lead Data Scientist Interview

      May 16, 2022

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SetSail in Mar 2022

      Interview

      The process started off with a couple intro meetings with recruiters before moving into the technical domain. Eventually, I met with several of the data scientists each of which performed their own type of interview (e.g. statistics, data analysis, machine learning, presentation, leetcode, etc). Overall, there were 10+ interviews. It was the most extensive interview process I’ve experience but I appreciated how thoroughly they vet candidates. The interviews were fairly low pressure and conversational and overall, it was my favorite interview process yet.

      Question 1

      If you developed a machine learning algorithm that predicted the number of daily customers a restaurant would receive, how would you adapt it to the COVID crisis?
