Entretien
I got contacted by their HR person who was very kind and conciliatory. Then I was given a machine learning assignment but decided not to pursue the position further, because I realized it wasn't a job I wanted;
I spoke briefly with the lead data scientist, who emphatically said the person hired will only do data cleaning for 6 months, and cannot alter the algorithm until then. I respect that approach, but he didn't sound very amicable...

Initial phone screening (30 mins) with HR . Talked about their mission and asked about my background.
In the same day I received a take-home test with a deadline delivery of 5 days, complete machine learning problem. Next was in-person interview where I presented my solution; they seemed nice but not very transparent, since I have not received any details regarding a timeframe for update or next step, not to mention any feedback.

One Hr screening, why do you want to work there etc etc.
One take away exam about predictions of yield.
After doing your model and your powerpoint you go there to present your result. The HR woman was really sympathic and nice. But the mister who was there for the presentation was very harsh and was acting like he was much better than you. He acted like he did not want me there, but he is the one who gave me the interview... Did not look like fun to work with at all.

Question 1
Questions were mainly about why did you use something instead of something else.
