I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eHealth
Interview
The process was somewhere between standard and a little helter skelter. The recruiter didn't seem to have a lot of experience hiring for technical positions and couldn't answer many questions. That aside there were multiple phases:
1. 48 hour take-home
2. Technical phone screen with a data scientist (coding and modeling)
3. Another phone screen with the hiring manager
4. Onsite #1
5. Onsite #2
That I had two screens for both phone and on-site was a bit strange, but fine. Everything up to the on-sites was very normal, but my interviews on-site seemed to be with people who I would work with, but who themselves were not very familiar with data science and therefore not particularly technical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Consider this business case and tell me how data science could be applied to it.
It was a valuable experience, and I went through many processes, learning a lot along the way. This has equipped me with knowledge and confidence that will better prepare me for the upcoming interviews ahead.
The process started with completing a written assessment that involved questions related to what ML projects you have worked on and what are you expecting in your next role. Following it, there was a phone screen with the technical recruiter and then a technical interview with the hiring manager.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eHealth in May 2021
Interview
I submitted the resume online and HR contacted me on the same day I submitted it, which is the fastest reply within all the companies. First-round is the Hr call, and the second one is OA. Hiring manager and Hr are very nice.
