Technical coding interview with two interviewers. The process could’ve been improved by providing details about what would be needed upfront. I had to install Jupyter Notebooks and work out how to disable AI in my IDE during the interview itself, which took several minutes. The interview ended up being cut short as I struggled on the coding test. No complaints about the outcome or decision at all. The senior interviewer would benefit from displaying some empathy with interviewees and being less condescending, however. He seemed to be irritated, stating: ‘even our junior data scientists know basic Python’. While I admittedly struggled on the test, it would’ve been clear I did know basic Python, having worked my way up from junior data scientist roles to senior leadership positions over the last 10+ years. Perhaps he’d had a bad day, but it shouldn’t be an excuse for being borderline rude with candidates who were given little context upfront about the nature of the interview (the preparation I’d done was completely off course, and it’d been years since I’d attempted working on a problem like the one set in this interview).
