I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Feb 2019
Interview
Recruiter found me from maybe Linked and scheduled a phone interview. Then she scheduled a tech phone interview with a data scientist at Google. The recruiter told me the tech interview might include some coding/programing, but I didn't have this part in my interview. The next step is onsite interview with 4 data scientists.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were pretty much based on my CV and my experience.
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
Back to back interview.
[1]. Mainly ask ML concepts, e.g., how to develop a classifer for youtube video; they will also ask some statistical concepts
[2] Coding for both python and sql
Applied at PhD level so I had two back to back technical interviews. One all stats concepts and the other talking over a hypothetical experiment design and walking through my thought process.
