I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NIRA (Bengaluru) in Feb 2022
Interview
2 tech rounds
1 take home assignment
1 CEO round
1. An initial call to understand my background and some screening data science questions
2. A take home assignment containing modeling as well as qualitative questions (the timeline expectations were very realistic)
3. A discussion on the assignment and further technical questions
4. A discussion with the CEO
All the interviews were mostly based on past experience (as mentioned in the resume) and my understanding of the credit industry and Data Science concepts.
One hands on project and one virtual interview
The hand on project was training a simple model and answering some questions.
The interview was related to data science, machine learning and statistics. Also discussed my work experience and how I got into the field, basic things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would be the hallmarks for you to consider switching from rules based to ML models?
Extremely bad experience. Co-founder is a ideal stealer. Please don't waste your time giving interview. It is no 1 SCAM .
Don't fall prey to the soft words with them. Most bad experience ever I can expect !!!
They don't have any sentiments for people's career they want to steal .
