Average Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Mon, 24 Sep 2018
Interviewed Sep 2,018 in Cupertino, CA (took 21 days)
A recuriter contacted me and scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager. After I passed the first one I had another phone interview with a member of the team. After this one they flew me to Cupertino. Over there I had 6 interviews with about 12-13 people.
I barely had time to breath the interviews were back to back.
Interview Questions
Many questions about stuff that is related to NLP theoretically. Questions about my previous project. They asked if I did any work in localization (no, just read my resume). A bfs(file directory), string segmentation, system design of a small iTunnes and some sql query. Overall it wasn't difficult, but some questions weren't too clear and the heavy accent of the interviewers didn't help either.
Although the job was mainly related to software engineering and web services. They asked many open ended questions related to NLP. I don't see the relation, but I'm glad they wasted my time.
