I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Diageo (Bengaluru)
Interview
The process was mid in difficulty but recruiter kind of misguided with the type of interview in second round. The interview process consisted of two technical round and one online assessment. First technical round was with lead data scientist and second round was with data science manager.
In managerial round, i was asked aptitude questions : calculate the angle between hour and minute hand
2) if you have 60 min and 30 min candles how can you calculate 45 mins
First round was HR discussion and a online python and MCQ related to ML and stats. and in next round there was 2 person in the panel and asked questions about ML and stats.
It was an incredibly unorganised process. At first, they told me that the first interview was going to be just a get to know each other. Turns out it was a technical interview that turned really weird very quickly. For a Data Scientist role, they asked me to "code" in Excel, which was already a red flag.
