      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      Jan 24, 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rover.com in May 2024

      Interview

      The interview process was very well-organized, just long. The interviewers were all really great and worked with me to make the interview feel collaborative and comfortable. Recruiting kept up with good communication. I got to meet all the team members throughout the process, and that helped in my excitement to work with them. It started with a behavioral and ML case study interview with the HM. Then a take-home assignment, and after passing that was a technical screen + go over the take-home. Then an onsite (remote) loop of 3 interviews covering another ML case study, stats, and behavioral.

      Question 1

      A take-home analytics assignment involving toy data and Python, but was mainly a thought-exercise

      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rover.com (Seattle, WA) in May 2018

      Interview

      Applied online and received an email about 3 weeks later to do a take home analytics project. The project was not too difficult but was quite time consuming. I spent probably around 8+ hours of my weekend on it. Next I went through two rounds of phone interviews before finally getting invited for an on site. The phone screens were mostly about my experience and some hypothetical case studies about metrics I would use and what actions I’d recommend based on the results. It was pretty straightforward and no real technical questions were asked. The on-site interview was 4 hours long with 3 rounds of paired interviewers and the last hour with the VP. I thought a majority of the interviews went well and I really enjoyed talking to and learning about the team. The first two rounds consisting of mostly PMs were mostly experience related and behavioral questions. The third round was with data scientists who asked some vague/open ended questions related to a case study/experiment. I believe I did not get the offer due to this “technical” round. I was disappointed because they didn’t ask me about any of my experience in stats/modeling and asked me questions that seemed to try to test my “textbook” knowledge instead of real world application. I think it worked out for the best in the end. Although I really enjoyed meeting the team at the onsite, the interview panel seemed to lack diversity and unfortunately I wasn’t given a tour or saw much of the office to know if this was the norm. Overall I’m glad I got to know more about the company (and meet quite a few dogs!) but disappointed that I wasted so much time on the analytics project!! That’s my one big negative. Recruiting was on point and communicated results of all interviews to me within 1 day of it occurring. It was actually pretty amazing!
