United StatesPosted May 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a recruiter touchpoint, I ended up with a theoretical phone screen focused on machine learning and image-processing concepts.

When that cleared, the next step was a technical presentation round. I had to present on a topic I brought in, and afterward they probed with follow-up questions meant to test how deeply I understood what I was describing.

The presentation ended up being the most stressful and most crucial part of the process for me. After that, I moved into a series of one-on-one interviews with engineering managers. Those conversations mixed theory and hands-on coding, so it wasn’t just talking through concepts—I also worked through coding questions while they assessed how I reasoned.

Overall it felt
