      Data Scientist Interview

      8 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FINRA in Feb 2022

      Interview

      I first spoke to a Senior VP. He seemed nice and it sounded like the work could potentially be a good fit. I then did an interview with a recent grad (note: I have 15 years of experience) which went horribly. They didn't understand anything that I said. They were horribly patronizing. They rejected all the experience that I described because it didn't fit into the entry-level tasks that they were expecting. Advice to management: Make sure that the interviewers are more qualified than the candidate.

      Question 1

      They asked me to describe what I've worked on and what my day to day responsibilities were.

      Data Scientist Interview

      11 Nov 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FINRA (New York, NY) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      Initial phone screen with 3 members of the team. A series of math and finance questions during the phone screen (very straightforward, about 10 questions in total). Then given a take-home data challenge (a former Kaggle competition), and prepare a presentation. Invited onsite. Onsite interview involved presenting the data challenge followed by another series of programming and math questions. Overall, interviews are very technical focused, which is great for a Data Science position. The group is young and there are many opportunities and amazing tasks coming in the pipeline.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Prove why Pearson's Correlation is between -1 and 1. 2. Linear regression, multiple linear regression, brainteasers, programming exercise
