Process
I had two rounds of interviews.
Both followed the same format, comprising two parts: an interview and a 30-minute coding question.
For my first round, I was asked a LeetCode hard problem (LC295: Streaming Median Finding), questions about my resume, and how Diffusion Models work.
The second interview had a similar format. Although the questions were about ML System Design, the interviewer had connection issues and could not speak English well, disconnecting every minute. This did not make for the best interview experience, as he dismissed all my answers very curtly.
