Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks.
It was a three-round interview. The first one was with the hiring manager, and the next two were about RL post-training concepts.
The hiring manager looked bored and kept yawning, which I found to be rude. The other two interviewers were professional.
Questions
Explain my previous work to the hiring manager. Explain the decisions I made and the trade-offs. The technical rounds did not include live coding. They asked about metrics to look out for during RL training.
