Magic Leap Computer Vision Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process went really well. First, I spoke with the hiring manager who was super nice and asked some great questions, including ones about real-world deployment skills, so keep that in mind. Then, there was a technical round with a project director. They asked relevant questions about point-clouds and tracking. They also inquired about my work and experience, and then came up with spontaneous questions about potential issues an approach might face. It wasn't necessarily about solving a concrete problem, but more about explaining my approach, understanding, and how I'd tackle it. The tough part was the coding test, which involved a LeetCode medium problem and required me to talk through my solution.

I applied online for this role in Zurich. A recruiter reached out, and I ended up having 6 interviews, a mix of technical and non-technical ones. Everyone was really nice and helpful, which was a nice change from FAANG interviews. Unfortunately, after the interviews, I didn't get any updates for a while. I checked in with the recruiter a few times, but eventually, I got a generic rejection email. I looked up their employee numbers, and they haven't grown at all in the last two years – 1227 employees in July 2020 and also in July 2022 (1216 in Jan 2022, so only 11 hires this year, globally!). I'm not sure if they're actually hiring in Zurich or if it's all a sham. It was a significant time commitment for me, and I assume for them too.

I applied online and then HR got in touch to set up an interview. The first step was a casual phone chat with HR to figure out if the role and team were a good fit, followed by a technical phone interview.
