I applied online. I interviewed at Philip Morris International (Utrecht) in Mar 2020
Interview
There was 2 interviews, one with a member of the recruitment team, and the second with 2 data scientists. Finally a case study, with a presentation. The case study topic was about a taxi's best route to maximize benefits. They only give you 2 days to finish, so if you are already working full time, it is very hard to finish on time.

Question 1
Technical general questions: could you explain to me how an xgboost works? what is the ROC curve? and business: How can you help the company to grow?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Philip Morris International in Sept 2023
Interview
The interviews went well. At the end of the last interview, I was told that I was the strongest candidate but they were planning to change the location of the position from Spain to Polland and if I was interested in moving to Poland. Honestly, it took them 2.5 months to interview me and at the end they asked me to move to another country. If I know they were going to ask this I wouldn't even interview from the beginning.
