Process

I was contacted by a recruiter who discussed the requirements of the team. The project was top secret, so they could not disclose what I would be working on.

I had two rounds of phone interviews which involved discussions on concepts in machine learning and natural language processing. I was then invited for a series of on-site interviews, which lasted 3.5 hours. These were similar to the phone interviews but were more detailed and probing.

Overall, I found the engineers to be of top quality and extremely devoted to the success of the project. I was also impressed by the hiring experience. The entire process took less than two weeks, and I was continually updated (by email) of my status, even late on a Friday evening.
