      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      21 Aug 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PlayStation

      Interview

      I first had a call with the hiring manager, and it was mostly talking about my past experience. There were some hypothetical questions about ML modeling and going through my thought process on that. After that it was a technical screen on SQL, Python, ML, stats, and general modeling.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is one of your favorite ML models and what do people often get wrong with it?

      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      10 Sept 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PlayStation (London, England) in Sept 2025

      Interview

      I had an initial call with a recruiter from the US which did, in my opinion, a terrific job at selling the company and the role. The first interview happened with a Manager (covering), and should have covered my CV and technicalities of it. The format turned out to be different, and the manager awkwardly refused to hear about my experience so she could ask pre-prepared silly questions that felt ChatGPT-generated, such as “what do you think it’s the data challenge at PlayStation?”. The more technical we got was with “if we have a classifier, for example, a decision tree, how do you train it?”, where a dummy explanation (I think) was expected, and vocabulary like “loss/error function” seemed overkill. Generally felt very immaturely business focused, deviating a lot from the technical excitement I had built up, as in theory they were looking for someone with technical knowledge on, for example, Transformers. Got a terribly bad and disappointing impression given that we are talking about Playstation. Asking “Do you think AI influences our ways of working? has it changed yours?” was the final nail in the coffin

      No feedback during the interview, but they will ghost you - I read this was very common before getting interviewed by them, and indeed it ended up being the case.
