Colloquio
Get ready for 2 hours of mind-numbing data exercise for the onsite that should have been a take-home assignment. The interviewer was not interested in collaborating or explaining the problem. They shared a 1 pager of questions and a dataset that is not even related to loan or finance and expected a thorough discussion AND a full model with code. All that on top of engaging with the interviewer for the entire 2 hours. Please do both the interviewers and your candidates a favor and get rid of this interview format. No interview (especially remote) should last for more than an hour because no one can hold their attention that long.

The first round is an HR Interview, I thought they would just ask you some resume questions. Didn't expect some stat brain teaser problems. Three basic statistic problems: objective function of linear regression, expectation and variance, a coin tossing problem and ask you to identify the distribution.

Overall good. Interviewers are very nice, they did a good job guiding you through the problems. Some coding questions are unnecessarily hard for a data scientist role based on the fact that they have MLE and research scientist to do modeling jobs.
