Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
The first round consisted of simple LeetCode questions. I did fairly well and was moved to the second round.
The second round did not go as well. The shorter format of the coding questions (two within 45 minutes) threw me off. I would say I did okay in one of the coding rounds, similar to LeetCode medium, but not great in the other.
The system design was more conversational. I completed a rough plan for tackling the problem, but it wasn't great.
The ML system design was a bit better, with a similar style to the generic system design but obviously tilted towards ML.
Finally, the behavioral round was what you would generally expect and went fine.
Overall, the process was quite nice. The recruiters were really good, and they gave me feedback. Hopefully, I can try again in the future.

- 5.0Generous Benefits, Competitive PayMachine Learning Engineer • Former EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomJune 26, 2024Pros: En terme d'avantages, ce sont des contrats français avec tous les trucs usuels : 25 jours de congés + 2 semaines de RTT, très bonne cantine, participation, etc.Cons: En termes de revenu, c'est environ 50% des US pour la partie fixe/salaire, mais environ 90% pour les actions gratuites (RSU) qui sont versées. Comme la part des actions gratuites dans la rémunération augmente avec l'expérience, l'écart avec les US est plus important pour les juniors que pour les seniors. Levels.fyi a les bons ordres de grandeur, mais il faut faire attention : la plupart des chiffres donnés sont pour les US. Par rapport aux entreprises françaises, ce sont des rémunérations extrêmement intéressantes (facilement 2x-3x plus).
