      Machine Learning Engineer Interview

      Nov 14, 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at North

      Interview

      I applied online and got an email for a phone screening after a month. The phone screening interview was then followed by two technical interviews and one last behavioral interview. Interviewers were very friendly and professional, and most questions were about my background and the ways that I could contribute to the company.

      Question 1

      There was a computer simulation test after the first interview. I was asked to implement some clustering techniques over the muscular data taken from different people.

      Machine Learning Engineer Interview

      Mar 16, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Kitchener, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at North (Kitchener, ON) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      I talked to the HR person, then had a 30 min technical interview with the ML lead, then they sent me an over the weekend coding challenge. Then I was called in for a second tech interview. The first interview was easy, the second was difficult. The first interview was completely unnecessary, and the coding challenge was a complete waste of time. they should've just done the more difficult technical interview first, and then short list for coding challenge... wasted a lot of my time.

      Question 1

      Is overfitting a problem of variance or bias?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at North (Kitchener, ON) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      The process included 3 steps: 1) HR phone screening: Very typical HR questions like "What are you good at?", "What aren't you good at?" ..etc. Mainly talk about yourself and your recent work. Note: that was a somewhat negative experience, because it was clear that the HR person did not read my resume at all, and had qualitatively bad answers for my questions about the company. 2) Technical phone interview: 30 mins interview with questions regarding basic concepts in Machine learning. 3) On-site technical interview: 1 hr interview with 2 engineers.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a vision-based login system for smart phones using the phone's camera.
