Hyperscience Machine Learning Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had a really friendly recruiter call where they scheduled an interview for the next few days. The interview itself was hands-on coding tests with a super friendly and positive team. They gave me helpful feedback with recommendations and the results right away. A few days later, I got another friendly email. Even though I didn't quite meet their criteria, it was honestly the best interview experience ever!

It started with a recruiter hitting me up on LinkedIn and we had an initial phone call. Then I got a hackerrank test with 2 problems to do in an hour. After that, I had another call with an engineer. This was kind of wild, he began asking me about my background. His communication was really bad, like a big gap and he couldn't explain what he wanted. He kept doing that for about 30 minutes and then asked me to code. I finished the code in 10 minutes, but they didn't move forward with my profile. I do these kinds of interviews myself, but the company's rep shouldn't be someone who can't get the message across clearly. As an engineer, it's frustrating not to be evaluated properly because someone else couldn't communicate well.

I submitted my application through the SO jobs portal and was contacted by a recruiter within a few days. The recruiter didn't provide any details about the interview process structure. Initially, there was a HackerRank challenge, which I found to be engaging and not overly challenging. Following that, I had a Google Hangouts interview with an engineer. This interview began with some general questions about programming concepts, after which we proceeded to a coding test using HackerRank. I successfully completed this stage and another similar round was arranged with a different engineer. I also performed well on this coding problem. However, a few days later, I received notification that I wouldn't be moving forward in the process. I reached out to inquire about the reasons for this decision, given my perceived performance, but received no response, not even a standard rejection message.
