I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Phoenix, AZ) in Jun 2019
Interview
Great and challenging role. I was contacted first by Recruiter for an initial screening. Once we were in agreement, he set up my call with Senior Manager of Data Science at Phoenix Safeway office. A great guy and good conversation. I was honest upfront with my skills and capabilities. They were looking for a hard core Data Scientist who will be able to guide the team. My interview overran by an hour , initial discussion around resume and later followed by SQL white board coding and then ML /Statistics questions and techniques. Overall , interview went well but was proposed another role in company that would lead my way up to a Data Scientist. Another role is not yet created in the organization, so the Recruiter called me and I am kept on hold and will be considered if a future position in Data Analyst arise. A good experience overall.
