Machine Learning Engineer, Speech Recognition Interview Experience - Toronto, Ontario
Process
First, I had a short interview with HR. The second time, my interview was with a software engineer team lead for about 2 hours.
Then, they arranged the final sessions of the interview process, which were in two 4-hour parts. The problem was, only two days before the final session, they canceled the meeting and told me they had taken another one. However, it was about two weeks that they had arranged the meetings.
