Process
I got through the resume screen. Around 3 coding questions, each of one hour, then a general introduction, and then some questions on ML topics. There were also some hash map implementation questions using vectors. Questions included: What is a CNN? How is it similar to the brain? Which field is it used in?
Questions
- Implement max pooling

Pros: Watson is highly regarded for its ability to process and analyze massive amounts of unstructured data, a significant advantage for businesses dealing with complex information like medical records or legal documents.
Cons: Watson is often seen as an expensive platform. It's built for large enterprises and requires significant investment in licensing, implementation, and a team of specialists to set up and maintain the system. This makes it prohibitive for smaller businesses.
