      Data Scientist Interview

      Jan 3, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Drax

      Interview

      Following a very good take home challenge ( not too much work and nice easter eggs in the data set), had an initial interview with three staff members. General data science questions on things like describe how a random forest model works, what metric would you choose for problem x, talk about a recent project you made. Very thorough and friendly, really happy to talk through ethical concerns too.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How does a gradient boost algorithm work? What's your favourite model?

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Drax (London, England) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      Very disappointed with the interview process. After investing time to prepare for the interview, take the assessment and attend the video interview, I haven't received a feedback yet. (I was interviewed in July). Tried following up with their HR contact as well as Careers team, no replies. Stage 1: Timed data science assessment that had to be completed and sent back within two hours. Stage 2: One hour video interview with two people from the team
