I applied online. Two days later, a recruiter contacted me for a quick 30-minute chat about the position and to schedule the first pair programming session with a software engineer.

Next, I moved on to chat with a team manager, where they asked me about my previous experience in building ML models, followed by some more technical questions.

The last round was a virtual on-site with six interviews, which could be split into multiple days.

This final round included:

• Two whiteboarding sessions
• One pair programming session
• Two Q&A sessions
• One interview with another top manager

All were technical interviews covering ML system design, domain problems, and fundamental ML understanding.

It's a long and tough process, but you learn a lot too. I enjoyed it.

You will likely sign an NDA, but you can learn about the product the team you are interviewing for will work on. The recruiter will also give you a study guide.
