Initial Commit: Engineering Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The recruiter contacted me very soon after I applied and sent me a supervised machine learning problem with 10+ features and 2 classes to predict. They told me to complete it in not more than 2 hours, but I couldn't engineer features well enough, and the dataset was small to go straight with the available ones.
