TELUS Data Scientist interview questions

I got an interview through a referral. First I was contacted by email and asked to confirm if I am still interested. I confirmed. Then they sent a project outline I was asked to finish the project in roughly 3 days. It was related to customer churn. After I submitted the project, I confirmed a Zoom interview for 2 days after when I had to present my submitted project. Then they started to ask various questions like "tell me about yourself, how do you manage stress, overfitting, classification metrics, etc." The general questions were asked before I present my Jupyter notebook. The interview was friendly. But, 2 of the interviewer were off on video. Long story short, I wasn't accepted for this job.

I am the person who conduct interview for one of the biggest data science teams. Wanna share some questions to help you prepare well before coming to interview. Beside technical expertise, TELUS managers consider communication skills, appearance and the way candidates speak. Always listen carefully and never cut speaker or answer question before interviewer asked question completely.
