Process

I received an email from the recruiter stating that a manager wanted to interview me for an internship position on his team. We scheduled two video interviews, spaced one day apart.

The interviews covered behavioral, technical (ML questions), and coding aspects. There was one ML design question.

For the ML questions, they asked about basic concepts such as:

  • Explaining gradient descent
  • Loss functions
  • The difference between batch and stochastic gradient descent
  • The difference between L1 and L2 regularization and their functions

They also asked questions about the projects I have worked on. Understanding the basics is helpful.

The coding challenges were LeetCode Easy for the first interview and LeetCode Medium for the second.
