I went through a three-stage interview process for a Data Scientist position. Stage 1, Phone Interview: I spoke with Max, the recruitment manager, who was very professional, polite, and friendly. He helped me understand the role well and what they were looking for. Stage 2, Technical Interview: This was an online interview with two data scientists. We talked about the role, and they asked many questions about my experience and challenges I have faced. It wasn't too difficult, but they asked a lot of questions. Stage 3, Final Interview: This was at their office in Altrincham with four people. I had to prepare and present an end-to-end NLP project using a business case. I presented my work, and then we discussed it in detail. They also asked questions about my experience and how I would handle different situations. My Thoughts: I didn't get an offer, but I was impressed by the company and team. They are very picky about who they hire. Everyone I met was friendly and professional, and they clearly know what they are doing in Data Science Consultancy. Even though I was disappointed not to get the job, I learned a lot about how they work. I would recommend applying, as working with this team would be great, and the interview process is worth going through even though it is challenging.

They rejected me without an actual reason and wihout discussing with me about my salary expectations. I believe I deserved an actual discussion with them and not hearing the response through the recruiter.
