3 rounds of Interview
First round
Basics of python machine learning and also a easy level python coding questions was asked to solve
Second round
In depth questions about projects, deep learning scenario based questions
Third round
Managerial questions followed by questions asked by HR
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement convolution operation from scratch in python
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Valeo (Stuttgart) in Sep 2023
Interview
Two rounds: 1st semi-technical with hiring mananger, 2nd full-technical with 8 technical people.
They told me that they will inform me in 10 days.
However, they informed me in 3 weeks, and rejected me without giving any proper feedback.
I was very disappointed and replied to them asking for a feedback, where I went wrong, what could I improve?
But they didn't bother to respond.

Question 1
1st round:
Semi-technical interview with hiring manager. We went through one of my past projects on github related to object detection using neural networks. Asked me questions related to deeper vs broadre neural networks, vanishing gradients, their remedy, loss functions, training and validation curves, etc. Overall, nice interview for me. I was selected for final round.
They sent me a coding task related to machine learning on which their was working, and gave me 10 days to work on it. Additionally they sent me a research paper from Valeo, and asked me to prepare a presentation for final interview.
Final Round:
There were 8 interviewers in total, including the authors from the research paper. Interview was structured into two parts: Coding challenge discussion for 1 hour, and research paper presentation and Q/A for 1 hour. Interview was super technical, with questions in presentation round about future ideas for the paper. Even though it was an involved discussed, I thought my interview went good enough.
