I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
1. Hacker rank coding assessment with 2 leetcode style medium / easy questions 2. Data science interview with a lead data scientist, basic machine learning problems, no coding involved. 3. Technical round with the hiring manager, questions about the resume and some behavioural type questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Machine learning concepts basics, Random forests, gradient boosted trees, logistic regression, and comparing their advantages/disadvantages and performance on different types of data.
I got an home assessment, managed through the Hackerrank system.
It had 3 Leetcode questions, one was pretty simple and the second was harder. Needed to be with my camera on the whole session, and full screen. They gave 60 minutes to the whole session - means the two questions
Waiting for next steps.
