      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at InstaDeep

      Interview

      Initial screening, then a take-home project and a technical interview. Completed the technical interview and scheduled a follow-up for the take-home, but never heard back. Felt like I wasted 10+ hours on the technical project to get ghosted at that stage.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      ML Frameworks, refactoring a kaggle-like deep learning project into something more useable and modular.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at InstaDeep in Nov 2023

      Interview

      I applied online. I spoke with a recruiter. He told me that the process consists of only two stages, an online test and a technical interview. The online test was hackerrank test. It was quite difficult mainly due to the 1-hour time limit. I passed the test and had a technical interview. The interviewer's questions were difficult but fair. This should have been it, however, I was then let know that there's going to be another two stages (a take-at-home assignment) and a technical interview about this assignment. At this point, I should have declined to continue (as this is very unprofessional) but decided to give it a go since I had already invested the time. The assignment did not include a time limit but based on the requirements it was a 16-hour task (assuming that you want to everything perfectly). Stupidly, I decided to invest the time to complete the task. I was extremely proud about my solution and I was certain that I had passed this stage. A week later I was told by the recruiter that I didn't. Verdict: A waste of valuable time. To the people applying: Ask to know about the hiring process. Demand to have the stages in writing from someone within the company. Do not agree to go over a process that has more than three stages.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. We put a lot of thought into designing a thorough and realistic interview process that reflects the technical depth of the role we hire for. We believe in giving candidates the opportunity to engage with real-world challenges that test both theoretical understanding and practical applied problem-solving because that’s the nature of the work we do every day. We see this as an opportunity for meaningful engagement and evaluation on both sides. While not every application leads to an offer, we remain committed to a high bar and a process that gives each candidate the chance to demonstrate their strengths. We appreciate the time and effort you invested in your application and wish you all the best on your journey ahead.
