I have an upcoming interview with Deepmind for SWE position, coming from systems heavy background, no ML or Maths experience. Was wondering if anyone could provide more context on what to expect from the interview process. Appreciate it :) #engineering #software #swe #deepmind

The sys design wasn’t your standard FAANG sys design interview. I was asked to describe in as much detail as possible a recent project I was involved in. I chose something that had a sys design element to it, so I could talk about the same ideas, not sure if that’s necessary.
All in all, I didn’t find the process to be significantly harder than another FAANG. Fairly positive experience overall, just frustratingly slow between stages, which can be annoying if you have offers.
Was it a standard Googleyness+Leadership or something else? 🤔
How many non-tech sounds (and for which engineering level, if it's not a secret)?
I was not told the level.
