I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lazada in Feb 2019
Interview
Recommended this role by headhunter, and there are 3 rounds of interviews in total. 1) round: check your SQL skill (whiteboard test) basic binary classification understanding (auc, confusation matrix) 2) round is more technical, deep dive into projects in CV and models used. 3) round is with ED and HR, this is a bit tougher. More technical and Check your interest and culture fit.
The overall hiring process was slow but acceptable. In term of offering stage, they were not very open to negotiate. Offer rejected because the pay didn’t meet my expectation. And interviewer warned that be prepared for OT, usually after 7pm. No guarantees if there’s campaigns.
Few rounds of coding and project experience sharing, behavioral questions. Leet code practice is necessary while also requires some research experience. Lack of engineering questions, but overall the process is fine
I applied online. I interviewed at Lazada (Kuala Lumpur) in Mar 2023
Interview
Interview with HR and Risk Manager, they will ask you common knowledge question regarding Machine Learning and SQL. After that, I was told there is SQL live test but I never got to that part as I did pretty bad in the first call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Common SQL questions: difference between joins, other commands in SQL. Common ML quest: diff between regression/classification, how to counter imbalance problem
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lazada (Singapore) in June 2022
Interview
2 rounds of pure technical interviews + 1 round of technical and behavioral interview. Did the final round in Chinese and could not understand the questions sufficiently. Do expect some behavioural questions to be asked in Chinese as well as the jargons.
