Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Capital One (Boston, MA) nel mese di ott 2021
Colloquio
First stage: technical discussion of resume items with data scientists and machine learning engineers. Decently casual and a lot of interest even in niche topics.
Second stage: Easy Leetcode problem, asked to describe the thinking process with that being the primary focus.
Third stage: Given a "fake" code representing some I/O in a machine learning context. Also asked to think out loud and willing to answer questions if need be.
Final stage: Behavioral questions. The interviewer was clearly just reading off a prompt and filling in a summary of my response with not much conversation or room to elaborate.

They questioned me about my educational background, being in mechanical engineering, not computer science.
Connected with a former colleague who referred me to Capital One, and it turned out to be a great fit. The initial chat was pretty straightforward, discussing my background and experience. In the technical round, I was asked to design a fraud detection model and explain concepts like the bias-variance tradeoff. Lucky for me, I had just reviewed similar questions on PracHub, which made me feel ready. After a couple of behavioral interviews, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process was smooth and welcoming.
