Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
This is for a New Grad position - CuDNN.
Responded two months after I applied.
Waited for another week for the interview.
The interview took an hour.
Three weeks after the interview, I sent a follow-up email, and the recruiter replied that the team had identified a final candidate.
Questions
The process started with self-introductions for both sides, followed by two coding tests on HackerRank. The first test was likely an easy LeetCode question. The second test involved the k-means clustering algorithm.
