I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FARFETCH (London, England) in Mar 2018
Interview
Applied online, was screened in a call and sent the technical task. Usually with tech companies, the first thing I learn about is their metrics, the interviewer was cryptic about their conversions etc. Wasn't successful after the technical task but not sure of why. More thorough feedback would have been great.

Question 1
I cannot reveal which questions I was asked, but I can say this: I applied for a data scientist position with a strong focus on NLP modelling, especially deep-learning in NLP such as attention models, transformers and LLMs. I was not asked a single NLP-related question throughout the entire technical interview.
