Process
I received an email asking me to have a technical interview. I only got into the first round, so there wasn't much I could talk about. Some linear algebra and machine learning questions came up. I got the results right after the interview. Although I didn’t make it, it was a really valuable experience.
Questions
He first gave me an initial condition and told me to solve some problems iteratively. I took too much time on the first part, so I didn't have time answering ML-related questions.
