      Operations Research Scientist Interview

      21 May 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Framingham, MA
      Declined offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Staples in Jul 2016

      Interview

      The first interview was pretty straightforward, regular HR questions regarding my background, major and work experience and the HR person didn't have a lot of information about the OR position which is normal. I had my second interview for this OR position and they forgot to call. What a shame !!! I guess they are not very businesslike.

      Question 1

      Inventory analysis

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Staples (Framingham, MA) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      I applied online and got a call from the HR about 2 months later. I then had a phone screen and then an on-site interview at Framingham. There were four rounds of interviews with similar questions about my background and resume. I felt that the interviews were not structured properly and they were just filling in the time alloted.

      Question 1

      Most of these were about my resume. Anyone who has a legitimate resume can answer these easily.

      Operations Research Scientist Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Staples in Mar 2016

      Interview

      First phone interview with two managers. Second phone interview with one Sr. Data Scientist at 8 a.m. ! The Sr. Data Scientist is very sleepy and impatient. And the questions they asked show them don't know operations research at all. They just pretend they know something. Then I check their background on Linkedin. All of them don't have strong technical experience.

      Question 1

      Do you ever use neural network to forecast demand?
