Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
A really difficult 2D DP LeetCode-style problem was presented for an hours-long OA. An optimal solution was required, with no use of the output console if the solution proved too slow. The Codebyte test interface was terrible. Completing the problem within a 3-day notice was expected. Avoid this.
Questions
Finding an optimal sequence based on 4-5 different constraints. This involves a combination of index constraint satisfaction and other problems.
