Tell me projects where you’ve provided end to end Data Science solutions by conceptualising business problem and provided a meaningful data science solution
First did an online IQ test and then I was informed that 2 interviewers will contact me on certain date and time. Of the 2 interviewers only one made it and he did with 20 min delay!!
Then the best part was that although he had a title of "Head of Big Data department" he did not have any staff with knowledge on the subject (1 man band) for the role and when he saw that I had the skills for the role he was trying to find ways to make me withdraw and to apply for another irrelevant role of a project manager!!!!!!!
He initially tried to discourage me by saying the money is not good for this role and then he repeatedly mentioned one of his colleagues from another department has another role that he thought I should take although I never applied and was not at all relevant.
What can I say really he found someone with the skills that the area was missing and .....

it was good , three technical and one managerial round. interviewer was more interested in business side of the retail industry rather than the technical aspect.managerial round was the easiest of the lot.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2016
Interview
I went to career fair back in Fall semester on my college campus and was invited to interview 3 weeks later. Interviews were conducted in one day and with 3 back to back to back interviews. 2 behavioral interviews and one case interview. The behavioral interviews were primarily culture fit focused as well as role fit focused. The case had to do with restoring profitability for a pizza chain. It wasn't too bad everyone was very nice! And then I received my offer 5 days later. So from career fair until offer it took about 3-4 weeks.
Have you ever realized while you were doing something that you could have done it better? How would you have done it better and what would you have changed?
