A test project about NLP and search engines. The engineers are nice and ask several research-related questions. The overall experience is good. By the word, there is an online assessment before interview. Relatively easy algorithm problem.

First two rounds were both phone interviews. Each took 20 minutes and I was asked some common behavioral and resume-based technical questions. The third one is a quite novel ML-project coding round. I had not seen such tasks in other companies’ interviews so was not well prepared. But it was in general a quite enjoyable process. I was given several hours to finish a CV-related DL pipeline. It was not a live process so no video or phone call except for a small presentation at the end. The instructions were clear, and they gave a code skeleton. I got stuck at understanding the loss and made another silly mistake in dataloader. I did not get the thing training properly at the end. During the call at the end, the interviewer pointed out where I got it wrong and gave some helpful suggestions. I would be interested in working on such projects in the team if that kind of project is what they do on day-to-day basis.
