Anyone here interviewed for a data scientist at Microsoft AI&R org? Is it a BI type of role, or do they do a lot of ML? Can anyone share their interview experience?

    Why would you expect BI questions for a Data Science interview? Does the R stand for research? I would expect some difficult ML questions if you are interviewing at MSR

    If you know the name of the person interviewing you, you could just find their LinkedIn and look. They might even have a G scholar account where you can read up on their recent work.
