Mountain View, CAPosted Apr 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with a recruiter screen, and then I went through a sequence that felt pretty direct: two coding interviews and two ML interviews, followed by a team lead interview and then an HR interview.

By the time everything was done, it took about eight weeks end to end.

The coding and ML parts were scheduled as separate calls, and I remember it as a fairly steady build rather than anything surprising or flashy. The ML interviews were treated as their own distinct stage, and I ended up needing to switch modes between coding problem-solving and ML-focused technical discussion.

I didn’t get the offer, and the main emotion I kept coming back to was the duration—eight weeks of waiting and preparation while trying to perform consistently across multiple technical evaluations.
