First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at InterDigital.
Accountant
It was a standard interview process. I interviewed with a few different people, one-on-one. My interviewers included my potential direct manager, the Assistant Controller, the Controller, and someone from another department I'd be working with. This happened over several rounds.
- Can you tell me about your strengths and weaknesses?
AI/ML Wireless Research Intern
There was an initial screening round with HR, and then there was 1 round with 2 senior researchers. It mostly consisted of resume-related questions. A presentation of the resume and relevant experience could have been helpful. They followed up in a week saying they selected another candidate but gave a good review for another role.
- Can you explain the difference between using Reinforcement Learning (RL) and standard Machine Learning (ML) specifically in the context of wireless PHY layer applications?
Intern
We looked into different projects, focusing on how you solve problems and work with others. You're a good coder in lots of languages, and you showed how you'd use those skills to fix real problems. The interview checked out your experience and your coding skills in c#, python, and unity.
- Can you tell me about your past experiences?
- What experience do you have with C#?
- What experience do you have with Python?
Senior Network Engineer
So, it was a pretty nice interview experience. They had 4 rounds in total. First round, the hiring manager talked about the project they're on and then asked me a lot of questions about my past projects. Round 2 was with two senior engineers, and it was very similar to the first round, with more questions about my projects. Round 3 involved 3 software engineers asking me questions related to software development, like what's the toughest challenge I've had in software development and how I'd test software. Finally, in Round 4, the Director of the department asked me about my background and a bunch of behavioral questions.
- Can you tell me about the biggest challenge you've encountered in your software development career?
- What's your approach to testing your software?
