Colloquio
I applied through the employee referral.
First of all, my HR was great. She was very helpful in many ways, answering all my questions and guiding me through all the process.
My interviewing process was the following: first conversation/technical interview on the phone with a hiring manager -> preparing presentation on the projects I was working on before -> on-site.
For the first interview be ready to have the conversation that sometimes goes deep into details on the projects you were working on or your work experience. I did not have any coding/SQL/stats questions at this stage, mainly Machine Learning algorithms I am familiar with.
For the presentation, my advice would be to try to make it technical (to show your skills) and entertaining at the same time.
On-site was about 6 hours in total. I had multiple interviews with different team members and presentation on the projects I was working on (for the team + couple not team members). They also took me to a nice lunch and that was a good time for me to ask some questions in a less formal atmosphere.
All the interviews were hard, but super interesting.
Overall, I'd say it was the most hard-core Machine Learning I've had anywhere else (but the position is very ML and predictive modeling related). Be prepared to answer questions on the tools you have used for your projects, and those questions can be pretty deep. Most of the questions were case-based, when they give you a problem and ask how would you approach it. When you say what you would do, they ask follow-up questions on algorithms/techniques you suggested to use.
Also be ready to answer questions on coding (be aware of big-O notation), SQL and Statistics/Probabilities.
In general, if you interact with interviewer and ask questions, they'll point you to the right direction. If you have multiple ways to solve the problem, tell about them and ask if the interviewer wants you to take some specific direction. Data Scientists are curious people, they want to know the way you think.
I enjoyed all my interviews and conversations with everyone in Salesforce. That shows the overall company culture in a very good way! Salesforce people I have met are very friendly, collaborative and they really want to hire you, not to show you that you do not know anything, so just do your best.

Unstructured and not clear about the process. They were looking for specific skill set and experience but the interview process like case study problem was generic and unrelated to job requirements

Colloquio
Interview process was challenging, but fair. Recruiter kept me in the loop along the way. It comprises an SQL test, case study, take home data science challenge, on-site presentation, and stakeholder meeting. The whole process took about 2 months from initial application to offer, which I think could have been expedited.

SQL calculations (group by, having conditions, temp tables), and case study where you might apply business analytics skills, machine learning models, and presentation skills.
I was contacted by a recruiter at LinkedIn. Did the call with the recruiter, then the team manager, then a coding test and finally the on-site interviews. The questions were strainghtforward and the experience rewarding.
