I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Technical interview including introduction questions, statistical questions, and coding. The statistical questions were about both probability theory and methods and applications. Both theory and method knowledge are required for this interview at Google because the position is not an engineering position. It is a statistical data scientist position
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how you manage multiple tasks you are given.
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.
