Process
The recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn.
I had an interview with a member of their RecSys team shortly after.
I was rejected a few days after the first-round interview.
Overall, the process was pretty fair.
Questions
Was asked to explain and code up AUC, as well as some other basic questions about ML fundamentals (overfitting/underfitting, bias/variance tradeoff, etc).
Was this helpful?
