Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Agoda
Colloquio
I recently had an interview for Data scientist position at Agoda. It was one of the worst interview experiences of my life, I will explain why. First of all the interviewer was behaving rudely. He asked me to explain about my research during my PhD. But as I start explaining he would interrupt me and start talking about something irrelevant and propose something which is not technically correct or related. This kept happening for almost half an hour and at the end he concluded that I could not explain well.
In the second part, he kept asking me questions about statistics. At the end one coding question related to probability. During the entire interview for more than an hour there was not a single question about data science or machine learning algorithms. The most annoying thing about this interview was the behaviour of the interviewer.

What is the different between different distributions?
Tough interview, friendly managers. Questions asked - generate the random numbers without using numpy libraries. Should be able to code in python, focus on python and ML libraries.
Mathematics is the key

Multiple rounds. Starting with an online test of python and sql. Passed and got an email saying that i will proceed to next round. An HR called me to check on my pr status. I say i am local and do not need a visa. 1 day later i got the rejection email, and the job posting is reposted soon after.
Good, Friendly. It went smooth. Interviewer asked everything about CV. It went for about 20-30 minutes. Asked Why would i want to move to thailand.
