6sense interview questions

Phone then Takehome assignment then onsite. Met with founders, software engineers and data scientist person. The process is pretty rigorous and requires a strong coding background. Details: Takehome exam with very messy data that had very high cardinality. Even the hold out set may have categories that your train set has not seen yet. A lot of observation of the data is necessary. After that, you go on site and get 3 software coding interviews. Pretty heavy duty coding questions. E.g. find all possible ways to evaluate the multiplication of 4 numbers in a N by N matrix. Also, map reduce and deep recursion problem.

It was one of the best interviews I had and one of the key reasons I joined. Most design interviews have you work on design problems on the actual product of the company, which in most cases can only be a lose-lose situation because you have much less context than the interviewee and it can feel like you are providing free UX consultation, especially when non-designers are interviewing you. Instead, I was given a related case-study to address within a set amount of time and then we went through my work so they could understand my process and my approach to design, and we both in the process could understand if this would be a good fit. What was very clever was that they had me use employees as user research subjects to see if I could gather the right key information from participants to do the design exercise correctly. Very well done and showed that they had a deep appreciation for user research which is key method within user experience design.
