A one year contract via outsource hiring company for a Data Scientist position. Had three online sessions in which met in total five different people from the team, each meeting with a team member took one hour. All of the interviewers were ready for the interview and focused during the session. They all seem to try to make a pleasent atmosphere.

Questions came from three categories.
1) Coding of simple data-structure realted questions.
2) SQL questions
3) Statistics/ probability theory questions (these where somewhat to verify basic intuition of these fields rather seeking written formal answers)
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.

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

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.
