1. Phone Interview with Hiring Manager: background information to technical details: how did u handle missing values, how to compare two different models, how do you evaluate your model... 2. Onsite interview(1 hr) + onsite technical written test (1.5 hr). I was scheduled to have an onsite interview with 3 people including the hiring manager and two data scientists. I was asked to give a presentation and talk about a current project during the interview. The technical written test covers java, command line, R, SAS and Macro, Bayesian and Vienn Diagram problems. You do not have to finish them all and they have a table for you to score yourself for different techniques. The onsite interview was not a pleasant experience. 5 instead of 3 interviewer showed up. They asked about my current internship experience and showed no interests. Then they no longer read my resume but instead, they started to ask random questions: given a dataset which has variables gender and age, how do you predict body mass index, how do you handle missing predictors and responses?

Process depends on the team, but there are typically 2 rounds of behavioral with a little technical in the mix for the second round, or one behavioral and then one coding/technical interview.
