      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Dropbox in Jul 2022

      Interview

      Screening -> Tech assessment (SQL & data wrangling using R/Python) -> Hiring manager interview (30 mins - Background and some tech questions depending on the role) -> Virtual onsite (didn't happen for me) Hiring manager asked to define metric for testing impact of color change of a button on a landing page. I asked 2 clarifying questions and defined the behavior to measure as numerator and unit of analysis as denominator thereby explaining components of CTR, and he says, "No, it's called Click through". His second question was," how would you design the test?", and I mentioned all the steps, but his response was intermittent ok, ok, ok. After that he seemed to have lost all interest in asking follow-up questions or answering my questions. Maybe he was looking for specific keywords and wasn't interested in the detailed process of developing an AB test. If he felt I was giving more detailed answers than required, as an HM he should have known how to provide direction to the interview and or at least act professional on the call. It seemed like he was a non-technical manager managing a team of data scientists asking technical question in an interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical SQL questions (percentage and ranking) and data wrangling focused on aggregating granular data to make it ready for analytics

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Dropbox

      Interview

      45 Min. - Coding Round (SQL: 30 Minutes, Python - Data Manipulation: 15 minutes) 30 Min - Hiring Manager, Basic Case Study Question (Focused on A/B testing knowledge) Virtual Onsite 5 Rounds: Role/Team Fit: Very Basic Feedback related behavioral questions Product Round A/B Test Round Technical Analysis on Metrics Final All Round: Basic Behavioral and Project-based questions The interview process seemed relatively straightforward, but a notable concern was the apparent lack of experienced interviewers who didn't delve into more intricate technical aspects. The A/B testing round felt one-sided, with me primarily providing explanations without engaging in a deeper conversation to explore the intricacies of the choices involved. And the technical analysis round felt overly simplistic, with unclear expectations. The interviewer seemed to interrupt frequently, hindering the ability to express thoughts fully.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      SQL query involving cumulative sum and active users. Python involves basic pandas manipulation and functions Favorite software product and metrics to track

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Dropbox (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      They don’t respect candidate time. After onsite they became ghost. No response no reply for weeks. I suggest everyone not applying to this company. At first hr are very kind and react quickly, but then completely ghosts. They are not hiring, just interviewing to fulfill their work schedule

      Question 1

      Recent projects, goals, timeline, work style.
