Very basic SQL, SAS, behavioral and situational around dealing with stress, conflict, and ambiguity.
The use case was a dumb one: forecasting of the future operations, in the retail bank application, with the very same accuracy as the historical operations (for instance, the application should forecast that you will buy some cake at Albert Heijn in ten days from now, on a Tuesday morning at 10:12, for an amount of 1.27 Euros). When I tried to transform the use case so that it makes more sense business-wise (for instance, a budget planning exercise, where we still keep the analysis of time series), the interviews were dumb and wanted to stick to the original formulation of the use case.
The technical aspect provided me with some data that they asked me to clean, organize, and present findings in a 30min presentation. I had the guidelines days before the interview and received the data on the day of the interview and had two hours to prepare my findings.
Describe an interesting project from your previous company.
What motivates you?
They asked very specific questions on ML algorithms (eg, give me the three drawbacks of the PCA algorithm), without being interested in my capacity to see the bigger picture (for instance, how to put PCA in the perspective of dimensionality reduction, and how it compares to other algorithms for that purpose).
Is there anything you would do differently in any of the work examples I shared?
The questions were very general, such as “Tell me about a project you worked on.” There was no context provided, no discussion of specific technologies, and no effort to connect the questions to the role or domain. Additionally, they mentioned they couldn’t share any details about their own project due to an NDA, which I was never asked to sign. This made it difficult to have a meaningful or relevant technical conversation.
