Senior ML Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Technical interview mainly about deep learning and neural networks, and the mathematics of activation functions, and some coding. The interviewer did not type clearly and overvalued the term names over the functionality. They smugly tried to make the interviewee feel inferior rather than being even and unbiased. The interview did not cover Transformers, GPT-1, GPT-2, etc. The coding question was overly specified to confuse the interviewee. They rudely took questions after the interview time had expired.
