Senior Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
It was okay, but not the best interview experience.
Some interviewers framed the interview as "a discussion," but in actuality, they had a very particular solution in mind and were not interested in discussing other options.
If they are only interested in that particular approach, it would be better if they asked about that technique directly. It was quite frustrating, as their solutions weren't great themselves.
I imagine this is largely due to inexperience on the part of these particular interviewers, and not really a reflection on the company. Still, it was a little frustrating.

The engineers don't know what they're doing, the managers don't know what they're doing, and the C-suite doesn't know what they're doing. So, it's just another tech company.
