      Data Science Interview

      Oct 20, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Athens, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Athens, GA) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      MAGNet program explained for 20 minutes then approximately 15-20 technical statistical questions 45-50 minutes. 2 interviewers. 0 behavioral questions. 0 programming questions. Very technical interview and they dig into your responses. Ask you to further elaborate what you mean by certain statistical terms. If I did not know a question, they would dig deeper to ask a related question I obviously did not know, and instead of moving on they would ask more questions even though I would literally say "I do not know". I would understand if it is a full time position but this is for an INTERNSHIP. I felt discouraged and belittled afterward. Strongly advise to read a statistical book before and know your statistical terms/concepts inside and out for the MAGnet INTERNSHIP interview. They will have little luck filling this position with the caliber they want in a small town (Athens, GA).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What does it mean when R^2 is 0? What does it mean when R^2 is 1? Can R^2 be negative? Given a linear regression equation y=10+5X and a R^2 value of 0.65, what does the R^2 value represent? Given a linear regression equation y=10+5X and a R^2 value of 0.65, if the data changes from days to years does the value of "R^2" increase, decrease, or stay the same. Given a linear regression equation y=10+5X and a R^2 value of 0.65, if the data changes from days to years does the value of the "coefficient" increase, decrease, or stay the same. What does the coefficient tell you in linear regression? Given a linear regression equation y=10+5X and a R^2 value of 0.65, explain what the coefficient means to a business client. What does the Total sum of squares measure? How do you measure variability in the total sum of squares? What is the 99% confidence interval? The sample mean of a claim amount in Georgia is $175 and in Illinois is $200 for the 95% confidence interval. With a margin of error of 15 which cost is higher and why? What is the alpha in hypothesis testing? How do you decrease a type 2 error? How would you decrease a type 2 error in your model? What is the power of a hypothesis test? What is the binomial distribution? I was given a problem and asked to fill in what the parameters were for a binomial distribution.

      Application

      I interviewed at State Farm (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      Simple and very straight forward. There was not much focus on the technical side of things in my opinion which was kind of a relief honestly. Good luck future interviewees
