I interviewed at Kantar XTEL (Casalecchio di Reno)
Interview
I've sent my application via LinkedIn, one month later I received an email in which I could schedule a first online meeting. After that I got invited to do a technical interview a week later in presence in which I had to solve some Python exercises in a Jupyter Notebook regarding data manipulation. The technical interview regarded data manipulation of sales in the form of Pandas dataframe and lasted about 1 hour and 30 minutes. During the interview there were 3-4 people present, they sometimes gave hints to help but many times each person suggested a different approach to each problem resulting in confusing me. Right after that I got interviewed by an HR who was very kind and asked what are my expectations regarding the pay. 3 working weeks later I received an email with the results
