I applied online. I interviewed at Best Buy (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
The interview process was well-structured and took about three weeks from start to finish. It began with an initial screening interview where they asked standard background and experience questions.
The second round was a case presentation, which I had prepared in advance. During this session, I presented to two senior analysts and two managers. They asked thoughtful follow-up questions, mainly focused on how the project was initiated, the process I followed, and the impact of the results. After that, the analysts asked technical questions covering a broad range of topics, including SQL, A/B testing, and some machine learning concepts. Overall, the atmosphere was friendly and professional.
The final round was a behavioral interview with two managers, focusing on typical behavioral questions and past experiences.

They asked a little bit about me and past experiences that I had. Once they heard I was studying mechanical engineering, they only asked about my availability. Overall, it was very simple and they only want to see that you are willing to learn.
