      Data Scientist Interview

      30 Mar 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I interviewed at OnDeck

      Interview

      Applied online and heard from both recruiter and data scientist within a week for the phone interview. As an experienced applicant most of conversation focused on previous experience although not directly applicable to the role i applied to. Came in for a half day of interviews at the NYC office. All were relatively casual, with a brief technical component for SQL and modeling methodologies, best practices, etc. Also had a probability question, but focus was more on understanding and setup vs mental math. Overall a very positive experience that reflected the open culture and dialog I've since experienced after joining!

      Data Scientist Interview

      12 Feb 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at OnDeck (New York, NY)

      Interview

      There were 3 phone interviews - one with a recruiter, one with a data scientist(this one was technical with shared coding + algorithm type questions) and then another with a manager. Then I was given a project to complete at home. After completing the project I was invited for in in-person interview with 6 or so people. 90% of it was whiteboarding and/or going through the take-home project. They were all about keeping in touch after the in-person...kept contacting me by phone and email to let me know that they were still interviewing but really liked me, wanted me to know I was still in the running...and then after 1-2 weeks of that finally they said they needed to push back hiring for this position until the next quarter.

      Question 1

      Typical algorithm questions - if a string is a palindrome, etc.

      Data Scientist Interview

      29 Mar 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at OnDeck (New York, NY) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Applied online and got a technical test within a day followed by two phone interviews the following week - one with a recruiter and one with a Data Scientist. The in person interviews lasted about half a day with a lot of whiteboarding of Python, SQL, and somewhat challenging stats/probability questions. Most interviewers were very friendly (some were a bit arrogant in their questioning - probably not the best picks to conduct interviews). Didn't hear back from them for 4 weeks until constant calling and emailing finally produced the automated "we have moved on with other candidates" email. Not very professional.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical test of probability simulation and a variety of Python and SQL questions in person.
