The HR emailed me two months after we talked on a career fair at school, and made a technical phone interview appointment. Two data scientists talked me on phone. I have not received any feedback yet.

Entrevista
An HR contacted me regarding a Data Scientist opening at Precima. He scheduled a phone interview with me which was just basic screening. I was then contacted for another round of phone interview with their Data Science team leader. This interview consisted of a mix of technical and logical questions. The questions were very straight forward and I think I did well but a week later I got a reject from this. When I asked for feedback it looked like they were more aligned to hire a PhD. candidate.
