In 2020 fall, I saw they are recruiting DS summer interns for the following year and then I sent my resume. The first round is a mini data analysis project, and I was given two weeks to finish. After that, I was contacted to enter the interview round 1, which was about going over the mini project I did and some related questions on the resume. The 2nd (and last) round of interview is about communication and critical thinking. Both rounds were virtual ones, maybe due to the pandemic issue. The people I met in the interviews were all very nice. They were just like chatting with you so I gradually became relaxed. Very good interview experience!

Question 1
In the first round interview, they asked me to walk them through my mini project, and raised some machine learning questions related to it like cross validation.
Started with a culture interview with one of the engineers. Spoke generally about my experience and also about the job and his background as well. Technical interview immediately after. Asked to complete questions while the other engineers watched and commented on why I completed things in a certain manner.
