As with any ML roles, ML adoption is a hit or miss with product teams
Health benefits not the best
Advice to Management
Keep expanding the Data Science team and get people more excited about how we can use ML to transform e-commerce. User adoption is key to any corporation using ML.
Application
I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods (Coraopolis, PA (US)) in November 2018.
Interview
I applied in September online. I was asked to interview in early November. The interview was ok, but the hiring manager and the other two people I interviewed with asked "canned" questions that they read off of a paper and that was it. I emailed HR twice to ask if they had made a decision or if the job was still available and was told both times that she would get an answer "this week". After weeks of that (roughly 6) I emailed again and was told the hiring manager would contact me by the end of the week. (I assume that means I didn't get the job.) But I still haven't heard from anyone.
