The interview went as usual in such a big company. The first interview was by phone with an HR responsible. The second one was by skype with an IT guy.

Question 1
The conversation with the HR responsible was very nice and professional. She asked about data science in general and why I am looking for another job, etc.
However, the conversation with the IT person was not that good. Most of the question were not related (it seems they were from his field). Before the interview, I checked to whom I am going to discuss and I found that he is an IT Engineer at the company (basically lower in the hierarchy than the offered position). This did not cause any problem to me but at the interview, the interviewer was surprisingly very offensive.
Tuvo varios retos, y preguntas sobre la experiencia que tenía en el puesto. Aunque tardaron en llamarme para una entrevista, un aproximado de dos meses y el proceso fue ameno, RH siempre estuvo abierto a preguntas y sobretodo a darle seguimiento
