The assignment was a real estate price prediction problem ,they ask you to provide insights and do Machine learning to predict the price of units in Greece . Here when I really became disappointed , the data science consultants ( or who claim they are) who interviewed me lacked basic intuitive knowledge about data science , questioned the why behind creating a simple benchmark to validate ML models on . They also seem that they didnt try to solve the problem before they gave out to candidates , which made them unaware of the aspects of the problem

Actually got no unexpected or difficult questions, which kind of turned me off as it seemed like the company was not serious in choosing a good candidate who can take on a challenge. Which makes me think of the quality of the people working there........
