      Data Scientist Interview

      2 Oct 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FARFETCH in Aug 2018

      Interview

      After the screening call with the recruiter, I was sent the technical test. It took 90 minutes to finish it. Unfortunately, I did not pass the test. This is entirely on me, but the disappointing part was that I did not receive any feedback at all, just radio silence. This is quite unusual as with other companies I was either progressed to the next round (which means I got to learn about the company and what they do and they invested time in me) or received feedback when I already took the time and effort to complete the technical part. I understand they are busy (we all are) but since I spent 1.5 hr on the test, it seemed fitting they would spend 3-5 minutes to give pick up the phone and give me a basic feedback. No respect for the candidate's time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Very basic Python programming questions (no IDE, you need to use your own and copy paste the result). Open-ended ML questions.

We will ensure to use your valuable feedback to improve our ways of working for the future, and we hope to receive your application again.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at FARFETCH (Porto, Oporto)

      Interview

      - a first interview with human resources - followed by a technical interview with 2 data scientists, where I was presented with a problem and had to figure out how to build a model to solve it. I did not qualify to progress to the next stages.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I cannot reveal which questions I was asked, but I can say this: I applied for a data scientist position with a strong focus on NLP modelling, especially deep-learning in NLP such as attention models, transformers and LLMs. I was not asked a single NLP-related question throughout the entire technical interview.
