I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ByteDance
Interview
Interview was tough, but it was fine considering it is a renowned company. The interviewers themselves were not very nice, especially one of the team lead. Looked disinterested, rude and insincere. Both interviewers did not even bother asking me if I had any questions at the end of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain the types of LLM models in the market and what is the difference between them?
There were several rounds of interviews. One interview round involved demonstrating a write up for a complicated question asked of a LLM. None of the interview rounds were particularly hard, and they were truly testing for logic flow.
There were 4 rounds: a recruiter screen, a test, a team interview, and HR interview. The response was quick (1-4 days) for the initial rounds. The final verdict took weeks. But one could also check progress via the ByteDance career portal, or the recruiter (mine was responsive).
