1. HR Call (describe position and role) 2. 1hr technical phone screen (Coding Interview) 3. 5 hour Onsite: 2 Coding Interview, 1 System design , 1 Hiring Manager, 1 Behavioral Round

one hour white board coding on python, pandas, SQL; standard process, not too hard; both manager and program lead are there; asked about past working experience; very friendly interview process; only one round of interview.

Varias entrevistas con muchas personas variadas pero siempre acerca de mi propia experiencia laboral y mi trayectoria. Siempre fue importante recalcar como mi experiencia y formación esta vinculada al puesto que estaba aplicando

Standard coding questions, behavioral questions and questions about my resume/experience. All interviewers asked me why Climate and what is so exciting about the opportunity. All in all it was a challenging interview and the interviewers were all very accommodating.

They sought me out from LinkedIn or somewhere, their name is climate company but they are some kind of agriculture data company. The recruiter was super aggressive, short-talking, and looking down on my resume. I asked him if the hiring manager would be willing to do the take-home exam so that I can do it in the evening or the weekend, recruiter said we don't do take-home assignments, I said I am not interested.

1. Recruiter call, 2. phone screen with manager, 3. simple descriptive stats coding screen with pandas, and finally 4. a three hour on-site with a presentation and QA, followed by a "quantitative reasoning" assessment, and last a soft skills call with another manager. Overall okay, but the quantitative assessment was no code and vague, with not enough information given to know what kind of answer/narrative they were looking for.

The official job title was "Geospatial Data Scientist". The interview process took about 2 months with 7-10 days between each round. I applied through their website and after writing a detailed cover letter the recruiter emailed me after 2 hours of application submission. From there the rounds were as follows: 1. Recruiter screen (30 mins): Explaining the job description to me, and going over my resume very quickly. 2. Hiring manager screen (30 mins): Hiring manager going through my resume and asking behavioral questions as well. 3. Technical Screen (60 mins): Coding interview with scientists on the Science team. 30 minutes using pandas to describe data and general data related questions. Since this was for geospatial data scientist the second part involved using geopandas to make some plots and manipulate geospatial data. 4. Onsite interview involving three interviews: A) Quantitative reasoning (75 mins): Technical interview involving machine learning and modeling using a dataset (only reasoning no coding). B) Presentation (60mins): 30 minutes presentation of a relevant past project and 30 minutes of Q&A with other data scientists C) Hiring manager (30 mins): Behavioral and cultural fit questions with another hiring manger. Recruiters were very communicative and helpful. The interviewers were also smart and accommodating.

I was contacted by the company recruiter explaining to me about requirements and how my profile fits their requirements and if I was interested in moving forward and interviews were scheduled. There were 6 rounds of interviews, 3 coding rounds, 2 technical discussions and a round with the engineering manager. After investing so much time I didn’t receive even a one line reply from the company, it would have been fine if I was told that the company decided to move forward with some other candidate but the HRs lacked that decency. I never experienced this in 15 years of my career and having worked in many roles in different countries and then I looked up reviews and I got my answers as to why. I wished I had seen the reviews before the interview and I learned my lesson to not agree to any interview without looking up company reviews online. I am just glad I dodged the bullet

The process was very relaxed and I was comfortable through the entire process. The interviewer asked very general questions to get an idea of my energy, what I bring, and what I expect.

Fairly standard interviewing process. First was the initial recruiter contact, followed by an interview with the hiring manager, then a technical interview with an engineer, and finally followed by a series of behavioral interviews with people across the company.
