One screening call and one round where you implement a task, discuss it with the interviewers and then you either get an offer or no. The interview task is very open: a book recommender where you have free reign over everything: the dataset(they provide an example one but you can use another), the methods, technology stack, how in depth you go... Everyone in the process was very nice on a social level and the overall interviewee experience was quite good.
You are given a task - to try to build some project (in my case, a recommendation system) and then you demonstrate your results, communicate about the dataset, selected metrics, implemented methods, advantages and disadvantages of your approach.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did I choose certain approaches, how exactly did I calculate the metrics, etc.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DataSentics (Prague) in Oct 2025
Interview
1) Interview about my skills and experience
2) Case study with a presentation at their office
The conversation was polite and thoughtful, and the questions were relevant to the topic. However, even though they liked the project, they rejected my application with the excuse that they want someone more senior for less money, even though the initial amount was already significantly below the market standards. Very unprofessional behaviour. If you have no cash for a new hire, why do a hiring process and waste the candidate's time with the case study...

Question 1
Estimate the team you need for the PoC of my project. Who do you need and for how many MD?
