      Data Scientist Interview

      8 Oct 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CVS Health

      Interview

      Got through 3 out of 5 interviews before I was denied. The final interview was hands down the worst interview experience I've ever had, almost hung up on the interviewer because of their attitude. It was a technical interview, Started off by the interviewer misunderstanding my degree, asking me how I became a data scientist in a very condescending way. Then I got grilled on random Python libraries and having to define them, having to list the parameters of random libraries, defining random statistical terms, defining all sorts of data science terms, every question was just "define this, define that". The interviewer admitted you could google all of this, but insisted it mattered. Then we did a code test in the chat of Teams, they said I got it wrong - I disagreed, but who knows because it was in Teams. Big red flag was that this person said that data doesn't matter it's the model that matter's so they needed to know I could by hand create ML models in a Jupyter Notebook. I completely disagreed there, you can use AutoML - data is what matters. After a disagreement about that the interviewer just stayed condescending, Took the interview over by 30 minutes, then ended the interview by asking me if I was unemployed - again in a condescending way. Couldn't have been more rude. I knew I wasn't getting the job, but I also knew I didn't want to work there with that person. A lot of other examples came up in the interview that showed they were running a pretty data/technically immature operation.

      Data Scientist Interview

      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CVS Health

      Interview

      The phone screen was surprisingly in-depth, lasting about 40 minutes and focusing heavily on real-world applications of data science. We discussed model development, particularly for predicting hospital readmissions, which was quite challenging. I had just practiced a similar scenario on PracHub that mirrored this section almost flawlessly. Following this, I went through a technical round where I tackled questions on feature engineering and demographic fairness. Ultimately, I received an offer but decided to decline it after weighing my options.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you build a model to predict 30-day hospital readmission risk for chronic patients? Walk through your feature engineering using claims and prescription data, model selection tradeoffs (logistic regression vs gradient boosting given explainability requirements for healthcare), how you'd handle class imbalance (around 10% readmission rate), and how you'd evaluate fairness across demographic groups before deployment.

      I applied online. I interviewed at CVS Health in Mar 2026

      Interview

      Interestingly, the first round was with AVP, and he discussed many mathematical concepts.. The second and third rounds were on the same day, for coding and case study. One week later was VP interview with behaviors.
