Software Engineer, Data Mining/Data Analysis/Machine Learning Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

May 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process was positive, but the recruiter's experience was negative. I was referred to a Data Scientist position, but the recruiter switched me to this position, stating I didn't have e-commerce experience. She told me to prepare medium to hard coding questions, so I took some classes and learned data structures and algorithms.

I postponed my interview and prepared for two months, only to find that the position was more aligned with a Data Scientist role instead of a Software Engineer. They tested me on statistics, not much coding. The recruiter's instructions were really misleading, and she refused to admit this after the interview, blaming me for poor performance.
