Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - South Korea
Process
Phone Screening - Virtual Onsite Interview (Multiple sessions).
They asked me to onsite interview or virtual onsite interview, and I selected virtual onsite interview. I'm not sure if this can affect the overall results.
Questions
First two sessions requested to resolve LeetCode-style problem-solving, and I felt it was about medium difficulty. Other sessions were related to ML-related topics, such as the attention mechanism and inference efficiency.
