Without even talking to recruiter, they sent data assignment. The assignment is written very poor, it is pretyy confusing. Anyway, spending a weekend , I did the assignment and sent them over. They just sent an automated rejection response. I asked for feedback, and of course, they just did not respond. Basically, they dont care about the candidates.

Two datasets provided:
vehicles - table of all vehicles and their attributes:
• technology: 0 if none, 1 if yes (technology that is installed in vehicles that makes them "instantly
bookable" and unlockable with mobile phone)
• actual_price: actual daily price for vehicle (owners are able to set whatever price they want)
• recommended_price: appropriate "market" price for the vehicle, based on our analysis
• num_images: number of photos of the car
• street_parking: 0 no, 1 yes
• description: number of characters of the car description inputted by the owner
reservations - table of all completed reservations:
• vehicle_id: vehicle's unique ID
• reservation_type: 1 is Hourly rental, 2 is Daily, 3 is Weekly
Using the two attached datasets, please prepare a short presentation with your answers to the
following questions:
• Which of the factors seem to be most important in driving total # of reservations for our vehicles?
(technology type, pricing, number of car photos, street parking, car description length)
• How does the car's technology type seem to affect reservations?
Feel free to use any tool(s) that you feel comfortable with to complete this analysis (Excel, SQL, R,
Python, etc).
The first round of interview was with HM to walk through the resume. Passed it and got a take home assignment. The take home is not difficult. Got the next round which is the take home presentation.

Go through a project involving data manipulation and modeling
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Turo (New York, NY).
Entrevista
It was a 45-minute interview, and overall it went very smoothly. Most of the discussion was centered around the project I had worked on before, so I had a good opportunity to explain my role, the technical challenges, and the solutions I implemented. The interviewer mainly focused on the technical aspects of the project, asking in-depth questions about the architecture, design decisions, and the technologies I used.
There were no coding questions during the interview, which made it feel more like a technical discussion rather than a problem-solving round. The conversation was quite interactive and comfortable, and I felt that I was able to explain my experience clearly. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The overall experience are positive. I skipped the HR call so the first round is with ds manager to talk about a past project. Then I was given with a case study project and the interviewer will dive deep into your code and presentation during second round interview. The final round was 3*45mins back to back, which will test your coding skills, statistics knowledge and business sense.
