As a data scientist, I regularly get asked at least a subset of questions that are more suited for real software engineers. Very few interviewers get around to asking relevant things (for me/my job).

My day-to-day is messing around with pandas and matplotlib, mostly, but I never get interviewed on that. It's usually brainteasers, time complexity of some algorithm, and an invariably-rigged machine learning thing I can never get right.
