Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and scheduled a technical phone screen. The phone screen included going over my resume and projects, and two LeetCode medium questions: one on trees and one using a heap. After clearing this round, I was introduced to a new coordinator to schedule the on-site. The new coordinator asked me for my availability. I replied, and was then ghosted. I followed up and was asked to submit my availability again, only to be ghosted again. The coordinator would also randomly call me and ask if we could talk about scheduling the interview, but I was busy when I received the calls. I followed up again and was ghosted again.
