United StatesPosted May 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed after applying online, and it took about three weeks to hear back.

The interview was scheduled as a 60-minute discussion, but the actual call ran closer to 50 minutes. There wasn’t any deep algorithm work, but it still felt like a genuine machine-learning screen.

The interviewer was a single machine learning engineer and the questions covered basic machine learning topics alongside questions about my resume. What stood out most was a design-style question asking how to compare two questions, which pushed me beyond definitions and toward thinking about structure and evaluation.

The whole thing felt average in difficulty—not trivial, but not an all-out
