Following a technical assignment was a virtual interview conducted over Zoom, in which I was asked questions about my career goals, Python skills, and domain knowledge for the role I was applying for. I was also briefed about the company and the nature of work along with the responsibilities of the role I was interested in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Python function to parse a string and count the occurrences of every word.
It was overall pleasant and quite challenging. You must be confident about your machine learning basics. Especially the math behind. Questions about machine learning are quite exhaustive and comprehensive. Try not to be stuck during the interview. If you prepare enough you should be able to pass.
I applied online. I interviewed at Infrrd (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2019
Interview
Named Entity recognition problem in first round as a recruiter screen.
Second round included python programming round. Interviewer was thoroughly unprofessional and had memorized answers to the questions he had prepared. Even bluntly told me off to come up with a different solution else he'll send a negative feedback, without even analyzing the one I had provided him.
At the end of the interview he started showing off on all the machine learning projects at the company and I hadn't left him time to ask machine learning questions.
The experience made me chuckle at the end.
