Data Scientist

ABB’s interview process typically starts with an online assessment that tests quantitative aptitude, programming, and basic data‑science concepts. This is followed by a technical interview where candidates discuss past projects, solve case‑based ML problems, and may be asked to write code on a whiteboard or shared editor. The final HR round evaluates cultural fit, communication skills and career aspirations. Overall difficulty is moderate to high; thorough preparation on statistics, Python coding and business case analysis is essential.

ABB promotes a collaborative and inclusive work environment where engineers and analysts are encouraged to experiment and innovate. Employees enjoy a balanced work‑life schedule, robust learning resources, and clear career progression pathways within a globally respected brand.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or related fields; minimum 60% aggregate (or CGPA 6.0/10); graduating batch 2025 or 2026; no active backlogs at the time of joining; strong analytical mindset and willingness to learn.
