Senior Machine Learning Scientist Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and was emailed to set up the initial interview. We decided on a time.

She also sent me a link to their "Culture Information," which is written in strong language. One of the sections in the 16-page culture document is about on-time meetings:

"One such process we do well at is effective scheduled meetings. We have a regular cadence of many types of meetings; we start and end on time, and have well-prepared agendas."

At the time of the phone interview, I waited for half an hour for her to call me, and she did not. At the end, they rescheduled it, and even this time she was 10 minutes late.

Questions

We mainly discussed my background and some of the works I did, but she was not able to understand most of them. She was constantly interrupting me and trying to change the subject. The part that really got on her nerves was when I did not know what 'original content' was. She explained that she meant shows like 'Orange is the New Black,' etc., which I do not watch.

It was completely incomprehensible to her that some people might spend their time reading papers or helping their church's high school kids instead of watching fictional stories about women in prison.
