Technical Behavioral
The interview process was pretty smooth overall, even though it kicked off a bit late because the interviewer was running behind. They apologized briefly, and then we got started with intros and a rundown of what the job is about. We chatted about my background, my tech skills, and how I deal with tough situations on the job. Despite the slow start, it felt professional and gave me a good sense of things. I also got to ask about the team, what I'd be doing, and what's next.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you explain the distinctions between callbacks, promises, and async/await, and in what scenarios you'd opt for each?
- Can you elaborate on your understanding of how JavaScript manages non-blocking operations, including error handling in asynchronous code and constructing readable async logic without nested callbacks?

Coding Technical
I had a technical interview with Turing. They gave me five programming exercises and I managed to complete three of them. The experience was well-structured and good for testing my skills. The team was very nice and professional, and I liked that they gave me feedback quickly (in just two days). Even though I wasn't selected, I think the experience was positive and educational: it helped me identify areas for improvement and better assess my technical abilities.

- Mi è stato chiesto di risolvere alcuni esercizi di programmazione in 30 minuti, potendo scegliere il linguaggio e l’ambiente di sviluppo che preferivo. Un esempio di domanda era: “Qual è la somma dei primi 1000 numeri naturali positivi (da 1 a 1000 compreso)?”. Altri esercizi vertevano su semplici problemi logico-matematici e di programmazione di base, per valutare la capacità di ragionamento e di scrittura del codice.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was really direct and gave me a lot of insight. I liked that a biology subject matter expert did the interview, so the questions were actually relevant and technically deep. It was nice to talk about biology stuff rather than some generic AI screening. But, I have some worries about the contract part. The hiring experience was mostly good, but they put the contract on hold without telling me or explaining why, which was a letdown. I didn't get any feedback or clear reason for this change, so it feels unfinished and not very professional, especially after the interview part was so well done.

- The interview was direct and insightful, conducted by a cell biology expert, with relevant questions about my experience. It was a meaningful technical discussion about cellular pathways, unlike an AI screening.

Coding Technical Behavioral Presentation
The interview process involved 3 rounds. The first round was an online Langchain retrieval code completion task with a 60-minute time limit, allowing web page access but not LLM access. The second round was a virtual discussion with a panel covering prompt engineering, RAG basics and evaluation, transformer architecture, fine-tuning, and agentic AI. The third round was a discussion with a Staff GenAI Engineer about a significant GenAI project in the portfolio, including advanced questions on transformer architecture and agentic AI. Overall, it was a decent experience.
Confirmed questions8 questions
- Could you explain what temperature, top-k, and top-n are in LLMs, and how they might be applied to different scenarios?
- Tell me about your understanding of prompt engineering.
- What are the fundamental concepts behind Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?
