Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa TV4 (Estocolmo, ).
Entrevista
I applied through Linkedin. Got a call from the recruiter in a week or two. They asked me to come over onsite for fist round which is basically knowing more about you. They liked my personality and hence they asked me to come for the next round which is supposed to be a technical one. When I went to the next round it was very weird. I was being interviewed by 3 people in a small room with a whiteboard, and they all looked so grim and serious. I guess I was the only one smiling and trying to make it look easy. I felt it was more of like interrogation in the court, whatever be it was not comfortable at all. They went straight ahead with a probability-based question which they asked me to solve on the board and all looking at me weirdly. The moment I realized I was in the wrong place with the wrong people and working there would be very uncomfortable. Glad I didn't make through, I didn't want to.

A random probability-based question, nothing to do with Data Science (yes!)
Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. O processo levou 3 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa TV4 (Estocolmo, ).
Entrevista
One of the employees published a LinkedIn post asking for new data scientists while hiding the true company name. Interested, I applied. Turns out that that employee did so so he could get a reward for hiring new talent...
I didn't go through the "official channels" but discovered that my resume had landed at TV4 without my knowledge. I greatly dislike the fact that a lot of things aren't done in the right and official way, but rather under the table.
The interview process was pleasant, I got to meet members of the team and was given a small technical assignment. The assignment wasn't challenging, simple tabular data and designing a model around it... but unfortunately, it didn't reflect the work duties I would have.
The two people who interviewed me left the company soon after, and many more did. The rate at which employees leave was a huge red flag but I didn't pay attention. If you interview there, I recommend you ask them about this.
