Initial communication was from HR. Explained role and requirements and set up the interview.
First was a tech round with a senior employee in the Latentview team.
The interview was an absolute mess with the interviewer choosing to completely ignore the normal process. Instead, they
- gave crtiticism about the choice of solutions implemented in the previous projects in the resume
- chose to spend 5-10 mins of the interview talking about how they would have done it differently and exhibiting their knowledge of the data science domain
- complained and gave "constructive criticism" on what the resume and resume cannot have
- compared themselves to the the person being interviewed with respect to A SQL test that the company hands out
- seems like they came in with a preconceived notion of shooting down the person they were interviewing.
Adding to the insult, the HR barely reached our after that.
If you are applying for Latentview, and this senior data scientist with 13 years of experience is taking your interview, please go in mentally prepared for a beat down.
