I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capgemini in Mar 2024
Interview
First, HR screening. Passed the first interview with data science managers. They were very kind. Passed a take-home technical assessment. Then got an interview with a lead data scientist. Highly unprofessional. This individual was leaning back in their chair and seemed like they didn't want to be there. Asked me in-depth questions about my projects but couldn't follow my explanations, since they had never heard of the technologies I was describing (e.g. zero-shot models). At the same time, gave a high-sounding speech about how the company is 'always up-to-date with the latest in AI'.
After this rather confusing interview, I got no answer back. Over the course of the next weeks, I emailed my interviewers asking for an update and was ignored by all of them, which may reveal that this behaviour is well embedded within the company.
tl;dr: Highly unprofessional. Ghosted after 4 phases of the recruiting process.
Interview take place from resume. Whatever mentioned on Resume was asked. Projects mentioned especially Gen AI Projects, what models used, evaluation metrics used. What is FastAPI, PCA, experience with cloud deployments.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capgemini (Calcutta) in Jan 2026
Interview
The overall interview process was smooth and hassle-free. All the interview questions were related to the hiring domain. The experience was up to the mark, and the panel was knowledgeable.
