Round-1
Before the interview, it is always recommended to go through previous Interview Experience.
On the day of the interview, it started with "Tell me about yourself". After giving a lot of interviews, I am already prepared for this with a constructive answer.
Interviewer told me to explain my one Data Science Project. After explaining that she started with Machine Learning, Python and SQL questions.
In Machine Learning, Interviewer asked me to explain,
How Random Forest Used for a Regression Problem?
How to evaluate a Machine Learning Model?
What is the difference between Lemmatization and Stemming?
What is the Activation Function in Deep Learning?
What is the step to preprocess data in Machine Learning?
And Many More…..
In SQL she asked me the difference between Unique and Distinct.
When can we use Aggregate function as condition?
And Many More…
Since I don't remember.
In Python, Interviewer prepared 2 questions. She asked me to share my screen and open my choice of IDE.
Question1:
Interviewer gave me a list of numbers and told me to print the number and index in the same line.
Question2:
Interviewer told me to write a function which will print numbers that are even or odd using the Lambda function.
Then she asked me about my salary expectation and told me if I had any questions.
I asked some questions to understand the role better and Interview ended.
Round 2
After 2-3 Days I got a call that I cleared the round. After that HR scheduled my 2nd Technical round for next week with one of the Data science Managers.
On the day of the interview, we started with greeting each other. Then he told me to take one of your projects and explain end to end.
I took my Video Analytics Project and explained in a manner which covers Problem Statement, solution/my role in the project, Impact/Benefit, Future scope.
Then he asked me if I knew any cloud technologies. Also he asked me if I am okay with other work since some time I will get work other than Data Scientist.
Then he asked me if I had any questions. I asked him some questions and Interview ended.
Round 3
After 1 Week I got a call that I cleared round 2 and now I have to take the AMCAT test which was an elimination round. If I do not perform well then I will get rejected.
AMCAT is a typical screening test, just to make sure they filter the person with good aptitude skills, thought processing skills and proficiency in English.
It contains 20 questions to be solved in 30 minutes. One Email writing question in 15 minute.
Amcat Verbal Questions Syllabus
Topic
Vocabulary:- Synonyms, Antonyms, Contextual Vocabulary
Grammar:- Error Identification, Sentence Improvement and Construction
Comprehension:-Reading Comprehension
Honestly, it was much harder than technical rounds.
I prepared for 1 week and solved previous year questions. Watch some YouTube videos to understand basic grammar and tricks to solve reading comprehension.
I gave AMCAT on Sunday. In the Vocabulary section I do "Jai Mata di" since I am not able to understand words. Other sections are quite easy and just need some proper reading and you will get answers easily. Just keep watch of the clock while solving reading comprehension.
After this round HR asked my documents for Background check.
Note: Background check took almost a month so be patient.
Round 4
HR called me on my phone and asked me some questions like my location, Education, Expected Salary, etc.
After that Negotiation started, He first offered me some less salary, I tried to negotiate.
Then I made one blunder, I gave him my Salary Expectation range.
Then he sticks to the lower band of range and starts explaining, we can’t give you more.
He started explaining how big a Capgemini is and this kind of opportunity you will never get easily.
I tried negotiating since it was my first time. I couldn't do much and call ends.
Final Verdict ,Negotiation is an underrated skill which is very much required if you want to get better compensation.
