Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Applied for a data science position. A recruiter called me and asked basic questions. Afterwards I received an email from the recruiter stating that a senior member of data science team will talk to me about many positions, not just the position I applied for. I requested details about the senior member to prepare, but I was not given any. In the call with the senior member, he was very disorganized - poor sound quality from his side which I respectfully mentioned early on, with sounds of kids in the background. It was the worst interview I have every had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard general questions, e.g. tell me your biggest contribution to your employer.
The phone screen was surprisingly in-depth, lasting about 40 minutes and focusing heavily on real-world applications of data science. We discussed model development, particularly for predicting hospital readmissions, which was quite challenging. I had just practiced a similar scenario on PracHub that mirrored this section almost flawlessly. Following this, I went through a technical round where I tackled questions on feature engineering and demographic fairness. Ultimately, I received an offer but decided to decline it after weighing my options.

Question 1
How would you build a model to predict 30-day hospital readmission risk for chronic patients? Walk through your feature engineering using claims and prescription data, model selection tradeoffs (logistic regression vs gradient boosting given explainability requirements for healthcare), how you'd handle class imbalance (around 10% readmission rate), and how you'd evaluate fairness across demographic groups before deployment.
