      Research Engineer - Machine Learning Engineer Interview

      6 Jul 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando in Jun 2020

      Interview

      - 1h coding screening - followed by 5 1h interviews in one day (team lead, coding, data science, talent champion, HR) - interviews mostly felt ok Specific pain points: - during first interview I was asked to chose two topics to focus on during my DS/ML interview. Those two topics were supposed to be at least somewhat of a focus. In the end, they were only mentioned in passing - logistics were kinda confusing. Some late replies, order and name of interviewers changed last day. Had to email to check which one was which. - some of the questions felt too much like they were closed, or leading. The interviewers were expecting a specific answer - I don't see the point of having 5 interviews in 6 hours. It was exhausting. I wasn't told these could be broken up into multiple days. Make sure to ask

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is cross-validation? Some algorithm questions (graphs, arrays etc.) ML discussion with a focus on fraud detection
