Phone screen at Twitter for MLE II. One hour coding interview with a software engineer on the same team. Spent the first 10 minutes going through the resume and the rest 45 minutes doing leetcode questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode question with minor change. Apply DFS/BFS to traverse a matrix. Follow-up question is another leetcode question that requires knowledge of prefix tree.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
Not complicated, multi layered / multi round, many questions asked about prior work history in machine learning, were looking for young, hungry, experienced candidates. Easy for them to find and sift through since they're a premier place to work at for this application.

Question 1
Asked if I was willing to work at the office at all times, essentially live there, come to find out they're moving to TX and thus I can't follow them.
The interviewer gave me a coding question and ask me to solve it. I told him my idea first and then start writing code. After I finish the basic solution, he asked me to optimize it. Then he asked me about time and space complexity.
