J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Boston Consulting Group (East Los Angeles, CA)
Entretien
The process was long, the interviewers were mostly professional. An upfront tech screen followed by 2 case interviews (1 technical and 1 business). The final onsite had 3 interviews with lead data scientists.
To be honest, I did not think very much of the final round, which was, for a lack of better expression, weird. I did not feel like they asked important data science questions and nor did I feel like they could accurately gauge or cared to gauge a candidate's caliber. I sat down with one who went through my hitherto unread resume with me, awkwardly, focusing on the wrong things. Another interviewer was tired from flying in on a red-eye, and did not seem to care about what I was saying, and claimed he was hungry during the interview and was dying to get to his lunch. I left the interview feeling like it was not a culture fit and I wasn't convinced they were doing interesting work.

The interview consisted of a total of five rounds, and I'm currently at round 4. It started with a code signal online assessment (tested basic knowledge about data cleaning, data filtering, data joining with pandas as well as some simple ML with scikit). Then the first three rounds are technical case interviews. Each round consisted of about 10-15 mins for introductions, and 30-35 mins for a technical case interview, and then about 5 - 10 mins for questions.

Question 1
If you could split your time working in three different aspects of your work (business related, coding related, data science related), what does the ideal split look like for you?

Entretien
Online assessment
Round 1: technical case interviews + live coding
Round 2: Partner-led interviews + fit interviews + most in-depth technical case interviews
Overall semi-difficult but manageable.
Fun cases and nice interviewers

Entretien
3 virtual loop interviews with all case study rounds. the cases were pretty tricky as you wouldn't know what exactly the interviewer is expecting when a fairly broad question is asked.
