I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (London, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
The interviews are reasonable and HR is incredibly helpful throughout. The first interview consists of a getting to know you better, i.e. who you are, what you do, how you got where you are today and your motivation for joining the DeepMind team. The second interview consists of technical questions and is split into four sections between two of the engineers: computer science, math, statistics and machine learning. The third interview is coding and computer science questions. Unfortunately, I have not been beyond this stage. Overall I enjoyed the experience and everyone I met was helpful and friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the caveats of neural networks as universal approximators
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (Zürich)
Interview
Describe your research papers and then a coding questions plus tehcnical and theoretical questions in the field of deep learning relevant to the role. THen questiosns for myself and scenario based and what I would do if i had a problem with one of my coworkers etc
I applied online. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (London, England)
Interview
two data structures and algorithms problems over virtual interview. Standard leetcode prolems at medium/hard level. Interviewers were not helpful. Asked difficult follow up questions. One spoke poor english and was difficult to understand.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (London, England)
Interview
Three stages, 1) Recruiter call, 2) 2 Coding Interviews + 1 ML Fundamentals interview, 3) ML Design + an interview with the Lead Researcher
I failed at the second stage, where I sadly didn't do well in one of the coding interviews. Both the coding interviews were Leetcode mediums, and the ML fundamentals one was what you would expect: optimization, regularization, loss functions, transformers, as well as practical training and inference questions.
