      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cepton in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Interview was rescheduled from their side over 4 times. Constantly changed timings with no prior notice. After several attempts, they chose a very random time for the interview. A few questions asked at the interview where good fundamental questions about C++, computer vision, and linear regression. However, the interviewer made no attempt to understand the answer. Even responding with the same answer that I gave after several attempts of me explaining it. Seemed as though the interviewer made no effort to understand what the response is and is only concerned about extremely specific details and not the overall thinking process. Definitely not a good fit for anyone looking for an open minded interaction.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What would an output of a linear regression function look like?

      Question 2
