Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

Process

A few days after applying online, I was sent a link to a HackerRank problem. There was no other communication whatsoever in between, nor were there any questions regarding availability, etc.

The problem was a LeetCode Hard-style question (seriously, WTF? FAANG companies don't do LC Hard for these types of roles).

I managed to solve it but was failing a few cases with timeouts, hinting that I was missing some optimization.

Questions

LeetCode hard-style question.

Automated process, no pair coding interview.

Quite possibly one of the worst interviewing experiences I've had in a long time.
