      Data Scientist Interview

      Jan 27, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Block

      Interview

      There were two rounds of technical coding interviews over the phone. Followed up by a phone conversation with the hiring manager talking about my past job experience as a data scientist. They decided to bring me on-site afterwards for a full-day interview. During the on-site interview, they forgot to include an interview to test me on a specific data science aspect and ended up having to schedule another interview. It is very unprofessional for such a slip up. During the last coding interviewer, the interview just assumed i didn't have the technical experience for the job even though I have listed many years of experience. His attitude was condescending and borderline discriminatory for a minority like me. For a lot of questions about data science project experience, there are no clear cut answers so I tell him my approach. What people do all depends on the situation but the interviewer wanted a clear cut answer.

      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Block in Dec 2023

      Interview

      The interview process was pretty good up until the final FOUR HOUR 'on-site' which included technical components and lots of scenario discussion. One interview expected you to write a rhetorical SQL code with a schema outline but no actual IDE to write or execute the SQL.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Block

      Interview

      It was streamlined and clear. Got to onsite. For the technical onsite The interviewers were somewhat unprepared for the cases and the emphasis was on how on the fly you can write code which I think is a very strange criterion for a role that needs time and experimentation ... it was rushed and disorganised. The nontechnical was just based on churn analysis. Based on my feedback I did a great job on the technical part. I was lacking in the other part so shouldn't comment on that.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical: fast coding round they expect you to clean and model data in 50 min. Non-tech: churn analysis
