Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Passed a relatively easy online coding test and then went straight to a final round.
Had four kind of odd interviews, with lots of time spent on "gotcha" behavioral questions related to the so-called leadership principles.
The technical parts of the interviews were weird and abstract, and different from the way they were described in the extensive pre-interview material they gave me.
