This company pays very poorly! £39,000 for a data scientist position based in London where you would be the only data scientist in Europe (the other data scientists are in New Hampshire, USA and India). I work for a charity and make £10,000 more than that. They do provide sponsorship but the low salary wasn’t worth it for me, and they would claw back the sponsorship fees if you quit within 2 years. Submitted application: beginning of September Scheduled 1st round: beginning of October 1st round: call with HR and light ML/stats questions (think along the lines of define sensitivity, precision, etc.) Take home assessment: 48 hours given to complete it. Had to do with reducing customer churn and A/B testing. 2nd round: walkthrough of the assessment with the current data scientists. It was pretty easy since my notebook was thorough and well-explained. 3rd round: interview with the head of engineering. Easy hypothetical questions to see how you would react under pressure. Offer received: beginning of November. I eventually declined it because it didn’t sit well with me that the position paid £39,000 when American colleagues earn MORE THAN twice that amount for the same work I would be doing (not to mention, cost of living in London is comparable to New Hampshire).
