Hey folks!

Just wanna take last information about interview to Research Scientist / Applied Scientist / Research Engineer positions in FAANG, DeepMind, Snap etc.

I think LeetCode is easy-medium level (not so strong like SWE/MLE), some big interviews about ML (maybe some theory) and behavioural with last work experience. Maybe some ML system design.

So guys who interviewed in 2021 please share some info.

      OP
      I have only master and some research experience, but i see many guys who go in without PhD. I just apply for some positions just to check ratio places with invite to interviews. So most of them want to interview with me. So i guess it’s not a big problem who already in some ML field. Of course u can’t go in if you SWE on Java all life.

    • You will not get interviews for RS at Google, FB unless you have outstanding research papers with MS. Otherwise you are good.

    RE here. Some have PhDs, some don’t. Expect some LeetCode (easy questions) and lots of ML theory and Deep Learning questions - ResNets, regularization, Gradient descent, optimizers, tools, etc.
