Interview with employees On my current job at let's say Company together with my colleagues, we will be asked questions and filmed for some blog I think, so please, correct me in my answers if you'd like :) Thank you for reading and I will appreciate any comments 1. Tell us a bit about yourself (name, job title and how long you have been at Company) My name is Yaroslava, I’ve been working as a data scientist at Company for 2 months. 2. What made you pursue a career in data science? I earned a degree at software engineering and at first I heard about data science at the University. My thesis advisor was a mastermind for me in data science and in mathematics in general. This field always seemed to me very mysterious even though we’ve been learning the math behind that. And I also knew that this is the future. So while I had been learning it I decided that I want to do these interesting things for a living. 3. What do you do at Company? / What are some of the projects you are working on? Currently, together with my colleague, we are working on a project called demographicsAPI. It is a tool that will help to build demographic prediction models easily. There are many processes behind building the new model, such as data preparation, building the model, evaluation, etc . And with this tool if we want to predict user’s age or ethnicity or whatever, we can simply specify what we want to predict and the input data and it will do everything else. 4. What do you enjoy most about data science? The most I enjoy that data science is growing so fast and you need to pick up the pace with it. Many things discovered earlier are possible to try only nowadays because of huge technical progress. You always need to learn something new and I love when you learn something at first, it is so hard to have a holistic grasp on that, but later when you go back there again and again the picture becomes clearer. 5. What do you like about working at Company? I like a lot of things, I like teamwork we have, though we can work on different projects we always communicate with each other, asking the questions and sharing the thoughts. I also like the work we do and it’s very interesting to learn new technologies and gain new experience. I like that Company encourages education and training, it’s always nice. And the atmosphere at the company is very warm and promotes to love this place :)
