I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Graphcore (Bristol, England) in Apr 2021
Interview
I was approached by talent acquisition . I had first chat with manager who explained the interview process and the job specifications. Then 3 HackerRank tests with 24 hours limited time . It is feasible if you have coding knowledges in graph theory, ML and python. It was fun, I particularly enjoyed it . Then on-site interview with general ML and HPC questions with pseudo code demonstrating. It was long interview as you speak with different people in the team (about 3 hours) . Questions weren’t difficult if you have experience in mentioned areas . Then final chat with manager .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Floating point precision arithmetic. Multithreading. Describe
operations in a CNN for inference and training .
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Graphcore in Feb 2019
Interview
Phone screen, then waiting weeks for the next steps, which was another phone screen by tech team and then a personal project. They took about 3 weeks to get back to me after initial interview, causing it to be implausible for me to progress further, as I had accepted a position. The final stage interview kept getting pusher forward, due to unavailability of high management in bristol.
