Process

I applied through college or university.

Applied for the role and received a call from recruiter confirming details about background (this role is a PhD level role). After that, got an email from recruiter about the interview date. In the email itself, they had mapped me to an initial project.

In the interview, they had asked 12 questions regarding the project, and they mostly revolved around inference parameters of LLMs like:

  • How do they affect the performance
  • How do they affect the trajectories

Questions

Asked 12 questions on inference working of LLMs, how different inference parameters affect the LLMs' performance. No live coding, mostly technical deep dive.
