Technical Behavioral
It was a really straightforward and painless process. They have different procedures for software vs. research roles, and also for PhD vs. Masters. I had a good experience, it was very conversational. You should brush up on ML fundamentals and have ideas about what you'd like to do with your time.

Technical Coding Behavioral
I started the process through the career fair. The interview process for me involved some quick screening questions about Python and Unix utilities at the career fair, then a short non-technical phone interview, followed by an online coding challenge, and finally the onsite. The onsite interview was under NDA. I had several rounds, and the questions were fair and varied in difficulty. They covered algorithms, complexity, testing, and implementation.
Confirmed questions1 question
- For the online challenge, could you reverse each word in a given space-separated string?
