Senior Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience
Process
Communication from the recruiter was spotty at best. I had to ask multiple times to be given details of my conversation with the hiring manager.
At the end, during my actual interview, I faced a LeetCode question. However, I had been told by the recruiter to prepare for an in-depth, hands-on modeling session relevant to my experience (all of five years, where I haven't had to do a LeetCode question on the job yet).
Needless to say, it went poorly.
I gave feedback to the recruiter that it was very badly done, and they seemed open to the feedback.
Questions
Leetcode medium type question.
Some questions about leadership and initiative.

- 5.0Great work-life balance, people, and fully remote workS S E(Senior Software Engineer) • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 15, 2024Pros: WLB (on my team) is very good. This is entirely team and org dependent though. Fully remote work is invaluable; I don't think I can go back to any other model. The flexibility is unparalleled. We do have offices if you prefer to go in. The people are super smart here in my experience and very friendly. I also enjoy how everyone is a little weird, which makes conversations interesting. Same pay no matter where you work (in the US, anyways).Cons: - Compensation could be higher. Companies like Meta/Google pay a lot more, in my opinion, unless you were here pre-IPO.
