Out of the blue, I got an interview invitation from Google for a Data Science role. I've seen they've been ramping up hiring but I also got mega lucky, I only have a Master's in Stats from a good public school and 2+ years of work experience. I talked with the recruiter and these are the rounds:

• First Cohort:

  • Statistical knowledge and communications: Basicaly soving academic textbook type problems in probability and stats. Testing your understanding of prob. theory and advanced stats. Basically just solving hard word problems from my understanding

  • Data Analysis and Problem Solving: A round where a vague business case is presented. You have to ask clarifying questions and find a solutions. They want to gague your thought process and how you can approach a problem

• Second cohort (on-site, virtual on-site)

  • Coding

  • Behavioral Interview (Googleiness)

  • Statistical Knowledge and Data Analysis

Has anyone gone through this interview and have tips on how to prepare? Also any resources that are fine-tuned to prepare you for this interview would be appreciated. It doesn't have to be free. I plan on studying about 8 hours a day for the next week to prep for the first and again for the second cohorts.
