I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Indeed (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was contacted via email and then spoke on the phone with a recruiter. I then completed a programming assignment, which despite several inquiries over many weeks, went ungraded. I have not heard anything back.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Indeed
Interview
Phone call with recruiter. Talked about the role and the team. Then a case assignment with about 10 questions related to predicting salary based on categorical and numerical features. After a couple of days of submitting my solution, I received a rejection note with no feedback about solutions. So this basically shows how they really treat people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a set of categorical attributes (Job Type, Degree, Major, Company, Industry) and a few numerical features, develop a model to predict the salary. They asked to answer about 10 questions related to assignment.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX)
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone screen, data science project, technical interview by phone, and in-person interview. Indeed was very considerate in letting me know what the interview process entailed as well as being very fast in getting back to me about my candidacy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The initial phone screen asked very basic interview questions (Why are you looking for a new job? Why Indeed? What's your background?). The data science project I was given consisted of a large dataset on salaries (about 200k rows). I was asked to use machine learning to predict salaries and share my code as well as predicted outcomes. Additionally, nine questions were asked about the project. These questions asked about the models used, the reasoning behind them and the error rates. Overall, the data science project was complicated as it was a large data set to run complex models on.
