Tell us about the interview round 1 including the questions that were asked.
There was only one interview which was technical and HR. They started with my project which was related to AWS. Then they moved on to my second project which was on loan prediction analysis. This project correlated with the company’s values, so it was a major plus point. The whole discussion was on this project. Along with this, they asked some questions related to statistics, data science, and machine learning. I was given situations related to different data sets and how to handle them in the company. I was asked how would I sell my project to someone who didn’t have the knowledge of data science and ML. The interviewer was very cooperative, they gave me bits of advice and tips on data engineering projects and how I could improve.
Tell us about the HR interviews, if any, specifying the number of rounds and questions asked.
There was not any HR interview separately.
What were the key factors of your selection?
I was thorough with the concepts. Confidently answering situations and communication skills matter a lot. Apart from all this, I took a data science subject at the university which helped me a lot.
What are the things students should focus on, in order of priority?
The balance should be there. One should do DSA and problem solving very well. Focus on your CGPA as its very important.
What would you like to advise juniors for cracking the technical round of this company?
Focus on DSA and problem solving. Maintaining a good CGPA will give you an upper hand on being shortlisted for interviews. Try to understand your concepts well instead of mugging up.
According to you, what role do extracurricular activities as well as participation in societies play?
Societies play a major role in networking. They connect you with a lot of people especially seniors.
What message would you like to give to your juniors regarding the stress they go through during placement season?
Don’t think that you won’t get placed. Don’t get disheartened by seeing other people. Try to get the help of your friends and people around you in the interviews and tests.
