Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter after applying online and had an initial phone screen with them. It was quite easy; I was asked some basic CS questions, all of which are already discussed here.

About a week after the phone screen, I had a 45-minute Skype interview with a Software Engineer. No behavioral questions were asked. I was patched with a Data-mining Engineer, and all questions were based on that. For example, they asked about machine learning, various techniques, what I would do with a large dataset of Yelp reviews, and ended with a coding question based on machine learning.
