The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Syntelli Solutions
Interview
Applied on Linkedn. Was contacted by HR then got scheduled for a video interview. Had to remind HR about the interview. The hiring manager was pretty impatient and rude. He only asked the questions that seemed to have only one way to answer which he already had in his mind. He got disappointed if you said anything else different. He didnt seem to have a solid knowledge of statistics or machine learning. He seemed to only know about what he’s doing at the current job (probably his only job). His communication skills was terrible. He asked me all the questions about Time Series even when I already told him I’m not super strong with it (weird!). Then in the rejection email, they told me I dont have NLP and Sentiment analysis credentials while they did not ask a single question about it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Time series questions? What is VIF? What to do when you need to predict the number of cars passing by a certain location (whole number linear regression, later I found out that you would need to use Poisson regression)
It was a really great experience. after the phone call, I have a technical round. in this, I have to do predictive analysis and clustering. the interviewer was very good.
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Syntelli Solutions (Charlotte, NC) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview process was comprised of several phone calls, as well as an on-site interview at their main office in Charlotte, NC. Throughout the process, I was well informed by my recruiter and received feedback very quickly. In addition, I genuinely felt like my interviewers were interested in helping me to identify and achieve my career goals.
