1. Application and Screening


 Application Submission: Submit your resume and complete any required
application forms.
 Initial Screening: Recruiters may conduct a phone screen to verify your
background, experience, and interest in the role.

2. Online Assessment
 Coding Test: Expect questions on SQL, Python, or R, focusing on data
manipulation, cleaning, and transformation.
 Statistics and Probability: Questions assessing your knowledge of
statistical measures, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing.
 Case Study or Business Problem: You may need to solve a business
problem, focusing on your approach to understanding the problem, analyzing
data, and providing recommendations.

3. Technical Interviews
 Typically 2-3 rounds with data scientists, analysts, or managers.
o Technical Coding: Solve problems using Python, SQL, or another
relevant language. Expect questions involving:
 Data manipulation (e.g., Pandas or SQL queries).
 Algorithms and data structures.
 Statistical programming (e.g., building models or analyzing
datasets).
o Machine Learning and Modeling:
 Explain the intuition and math behind algorithms like linear
regression, logistic regression, decision trees, clustering, etc.
 Discuss the evaluation metrics for different ML models.
 Problem-solving: Given a dataset, propose the steps to build a
predictive model.
o Case Studies: Work through a business problem to demonstrate your
ability to connect analytics to business outcomes.

4. Behavioral Interview
 STAR Method Questions: Be prepared to discuss past projects and
challenges using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method.
