The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Irvine, CA)
Interview
I was interviewed for a data scientist position. First round with hr and second round phone screening were ok. The onsite was a disaster. One interviewer was playing her cell phone throughout my 30min presentation; another was blinking his eye all the time. They did not seem to know a lot about machine learning. The questions they asked were simply copied from the internet, and I doubt that they know the right answers. The case studies were weird and stupid, and were absolutely not at the same level as cases that may be asked by other top consulting companies. I did not get an offer, but I would not accept it if I did.

Interview
Ignoranti. Chiedevano un certo bagaglio di programmazione, per poi dirmi che ciò che ho studiato è obsoleto ed è per questo che non mi prendeva nessuno (chi te lo dice?). Un esempio? Reinforcement Learning è roba passata, loro volevano qualcuno che sapesse usare bene l'AI, a quanto pare non sanno qual è il meccanismo di ChatGPT.
I was asked basic ML questions regarding how to treat imbalance data and how to evaluate the performance of predictive models
Also, you may expect some time series and Bayesian techniques
