A recruiter reached out to me from Hired.com. Right away, I spoke to the hiring manager. I should have declined at that point but I kept continuing. The way data science is structured at Box is that it falls under the analytics organisation. Thus, the role is more BI. The interview with the hiring manager was fairly simple. He asked questions about model development in the traditional statistical sense. Then simple Python questions such as dict and iterating through lists. The next step was a take home test. Mainly SQL queries and some basic CS fundamentals like sorting. Then a call with the VP. It was all BI related which is not my speciality. Finally, an onsite. At this point, I knew the role was not for me. When I asked them how they are different from BI, they said "we are more technical."
