      Data Scientist Interview

      Feb 12, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chicago, IL
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TransUnion (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      First interview was a standard phone screen. Second interview was a call with direct manager where he asked me statistics questions based on what I had listed on my resume, things like 'explain this technique further' and 'walk me through this analysis'. On-site involved an interview with a data engineer where we discussed my familiarity with python, sql, R, etc and some questions like 'how would you store x type of data as a variable in python', plus another conversation with the manager about specifics of the job and how I would contribute to the team. Finally, interview with two current data scientists where I answered behavioral questions, wrote a simple SQL query, and asked questions. SQL seemed to be very important and they wanted to be sure I had some understanding. The whole team is very very nice! They were laid back and welcoming throughout the whole process. I was struck by the kind of start-up feel to the company (there's cool perks, folks get involved with employee groups and etc). The people I met seemed to really enjoy their jobs and emphasized the flexibility of the schedule and funding for continuing education. Pay rate for entry level people is around $85k with around $10k annual bonus.

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TransUnion (New York, NY)

      the process is very slow. They will take a lot of time, remember that! expect more than 3-4 months after that, it's your luck whether you will receive the offer or not.

      Overall it was a good experience, but i didn't get the opportunity to go forward in their interview process. It was about my background, work experience and how i can be able to contribute to their on going project.
