The interviewer gave me a coding question and ask me to solve it. I told him my idea first and then start writing code. After I finish the basic solution, he asked me to optimize it. Then he asked me about time and space complexity.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
Not complicated, multi layered / multi round, many questions asked about prior work history in machine learning, were looking for young, hungry, experienced candidates. Easy for them to find and sift through since they're a premier place to work at for this application.
