      Data Scientist Interview

      17 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wayfair (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Approached by recruiter. Had a screening with the recruiter and then brought on-site where I talked to one peer Data Science Manager, two Engineers, Chief Architect and the Director of Data Science. The HR never followed up after the interview, and I was also not interested so never pinged them. Overall this was probably the most weird and pointless interview I ever had.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1.) Peer data scientist asked a probability problem and gave me a printed out algorithm and asked to explain what it does. Both were very esoteric and I am not sure what they were supposed to test... 2.) Engineers asked simple algorithm in Python and then attempted to ask about how I would detect robots in the server logs to account for them in estimating conversion rates. There were actually a junior and a senior engineer. The junior engineer was just listening in, and the interview was dominated by the senior guy. It probably was partly my fault, but the senior guy asking the question was unable to communicate clearly what he was asking and eventually became preachy and arrogant. 3.) The chief architect asked a geometrical brain teaser (I assume to test my thinking process?) and then we had a chat about the company and primarily his initiatives. 4.) The director of data science asked standard management questions.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Wayfair (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      Very average interview where the questions were ambiguous. It was very ambiguity. And not clear on the requirement. So in short not difficult. Hard to say if anyone should interview for this company
