Process
The first step was a coding challenge to be completed within 12 hours.
I was told I passed that test. Then came a machine learning interview where they asked basic questions about a machine learning problem carried out from end to end.
Questions
The coding challenge questions were:
- Find objects in an image (two or more black pixels together).
- An SQL query.
- A Pinterest API question.
