J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Varsovie, Mazovie)
Entretien
I interviewed for a Data Scientist role in the new Chrome team in the Warsaw office, right after finishing my PhD. Out of three rounds of interviews, I had completed two. The first one is the call with HR. It consisted mainly of two questions.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about yourself. Walk me through your CV.
2. Would the pace and speed of projects be a potential weakness for someone of your background in switching from academia to industry?
In the technical round, I faced a challenging A/B testing question regarding YouTube thumbnails that pushed my analytical skills. I was also asked to discuss metrics for evaluating user engagement, which had me thinking on my feet. The behavioral section was tough, but I found the principles I studied on PracHub to be incredibly relevant. The overall experience was intense and demanding, yet I received an offer in the end. Ultimately, I decided to decline, as I felt it wasn't the right fit for my career goals.

Question 1
Design an A/B test to evaluate the impact of a new YouTube homepage thumbnail design on user watch time. How would you choose the success metric, sample size, and handle novelty effects?
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience

Entretien
Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
