Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Viridien.
Machine Learning Engineer
I applied without a referral and got an email from HR to set up a phone screening. They didn't mention the platform, so I figured they'd call the number I gave them. They NEVER CALLED and NEVER REPLIED TO MY EMAILS later. And after about a month, they sent the rejection email. This was the most insulting interview I had (or never had).
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Machine Learning Engineer
I had an HR screen first. Then I had an interview with the manager, which was pretty basic, just high school math. After that, there was a take-home test where I had to do object detection using deep learning. Finally, there was a second round with 5 interviewers covering coding and technical stuff.
- What would be the output if we flip an image of a cat that was used to train a network with only that single image?
Machine Learning Engineer Intern
Started with a call about why I'd fit the role. Then got a take-home ML challenge where I had to build a model from given data. After that, I had a technical interview where I presented a project and answered ML/project questions. This was followed by a stressful 45-minute live coding session with three programming problems and some follow-up questions. The interviewers were nice though and tried to ease the pressure. Overall, it was a good experience, and the whole thing took about two months.
- Could you explain the concept of bias variance decomposition?
- What distinguishes deep learning from machine learning?
- Could you sort a list in-place?
