Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Agreed to meet on-site in Santa Clara.

Stood outside; apparently, the interviewer was waiting at a different door. He offered water.

After going into the interview room, there was a whiteboard coding session. It involved creating a Java function to find the smallest number in an array. They emphasized communication with the interviewer, who I would be working with. They were flexible and helpful during this part.

Afterward, there were questions about Big O notation and Machine Learning.

After the interview, in the parking lot, he started asking me about previous jobs I held.

Questions

Open-ended Machine Learning question involving comparing data. There was a strong impression that they were fishing for a specific answer, or expecting something without providing much context.
