Machine Learning Intern Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The initial interview took place on the CodeSignal platform. You had to answer 4 questions in less than 70 minutes. Overall, the questions were not insanely hard. The last one could be tricky.
Questions
I was given four questions.
The first two were easy peasy.
The third was an implementation-heavy problem involving traveling matrix elements in a certain way.
The fourth question was not good and seemed very unfair. I solved it but couldn't completely pass it, as one of the test cases threw a time complexity error, which I did not have time to go back and rethink my strategy.
