Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Paylocity (Chicago, IL) nel mese di apr 2020
Colloquio
Step 1: A very brief (<15 mins) call with an HR manager, just going over why you're interested in the job.
Step 2: A 1:1 interview with a current department member, ~1 hour in length. Briefly go over your resume, then deep dive into one past project.
Step 3: An 8 hour(!) case study involving data analysis and putting together a presentation on it, done at home
Step 4: (guaranteed if you make it to step 3) A 45 minute presentation of your case study results, followed by a 45 minute deep dive of your code used in the case study, followed by 30 minute behavioral interview.
The case study is frustrating considering you have to give up an entire day to do it, and then a good chunk of time presenting it too. The content of it was fairly straightforward, if you are comfortable with data science there are not any real "gotchas" part of it.
I did not get an offer after Step 4, but did get good feedback on why I was not selected.

What recommendations would you have to improve the data we provided? [e.g., additional data, different data structure, etc.]

Colloquio
Submitted an application online and heard back in 10 days. Recruiter was really friendly, we had a quick 30 mins phone screening and he clearly laid out what would happen next. Got invited to the second round with HM, we went over my resume and a project in the public domain, also a small data discussion. They sent the data discussion material beforehand so that you could review, Unfortunately I did not have impressive ML projects in the public side, plus incorrectly answered some statistics question, therefore unable to move forward. If things went well, would have gotten a timed 8-hour assignment and presented to the group. HR was fast and attentive in responding.

How did you know that your sample size is small? What kind of data preprocessing have you done in this work?

Colloquio
Applied online, received an email from the recruiter for an initial chat in 8 days. He gave me a nice introduction about the company and also got to know my interests. In 3 days he notified me that HM would like to schedule a chat. It was an hour-long technical interview. First 30 mins - walk-through an ML project (ideally in the public space) in detail, next 30 mins - small DS case study discussion. I was given the database schema for the second portion in the scheduling email. HM was attentive, but my ML project (built back in grad school) didn't seem to catch his eyes. If everything went well, the next round would be a full day-long timed take-home assignment (8 hours, once started you have to finish in one setting. It would be a modeling problem and you also need to finish a deck of slides for presentation), then you'll guarantee to have the final panel interview (2 hours) to showcase your analysis. Unfortunately, I did not pass the HM screen. Received the auto rejection email in 2 days. I felt the whole process was super efficient though.
