I applied online. I interviewed at NewsBreak (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
The recruiter reached out for availability after the application, and then there was a coding interview with the director as the first round. After that, there should be more interviews, but I didn't make it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Resume deep dive: ask about projects and follow up with many questions, including ML-related concepts. Then a LeetCode-style question. Perhaps because I didn't do well in the first 20 minutes, he changed the coding challenge to a hard one (DP) right in front of me. I can't make it, and failed.
Go through research experience and then a deep dive into the research questions on the resume. Then research question will be highly customized and will be based on your past research experience.
