Short and crisp. Mostly basic stuff. The process resembles any interview where some short questions are asked. Few questions are in the side of the above average. Overall basic questions in model building, dataset creation, data cleaning etc. Case study was offered in the beginning - questions were around that case mostly. Then went into sidelines.
- Handling of string type in tables?

Just asked to describe previous projects and answer a business case question. There was no technical question but the interviewer expected you to describe it on your own. Be aware to be very specific regarding your models or you will not get the offer.
- Typical consulting question but add data science layer.

It was very arbitrary. They give you an online coding test. And just said they are going to go with other candidate without much telling you why. First they were going to ask about one subject and then ask another instead.
- Simple list questions in python, query questions in sql

They are two-round interviews. The first round is a video interview and the second round is divided into two parts. One is the technical part and the other is the behavior part.
- Most of the questions are talking about behavior questions.
