   Application

   I applied through an employee referral I interviewed at Metromile (United States) in Jan 2021

   Interview

   What a class act! I told the hiring manager that I had an offer on the table already and needed the interview process to be expedited and they went through great lengths to accommodate me and answer all my questions.
   
   In the first round, we went over my past projects at previous jobs. In the second round we went into my past projects again and they asked several questions on general statistical theory and a bit on A/B testing. Then I was asked to code 2 SQL questions and 2 python questions. The first SQL and python question was simple and the second for both was a bit more challenging. The second interview lasted an hour.
   
   I was selected to move forward in the process but given the timeline of my offer I (very reluctantly) had to turn them down. The final round would have been 3 hours covering a case study and coding a model. The model you have to build is sent to you before the interview is even scheduled.
   
   Highly recommend interviewing here! The questions aren't riddles like most data scientist interviews but rather questions that really gauge your understanding of the actual job. Most importantly, Metromile exhibits kindness and empathy throughout the process.
