ML/AI Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 months.
I had a 30 min interview. The recruiter talked a lot! Like a monologue for the 15 minutes. They were bragging about the engineering team they recruited. A name, who transferred to Tesla from Apple, was even mentioned. It was clear for me the pace and company culture at the end of the interview.
Questions
What ML/AI applications I have done, how large the dataset was, and any experience with GPU computing.
