“It was as expected. SQL: First define the metrics and then code them Product sense: How do you measure the success of a product/feature type questions with follow-ups Probability and statistics with text book style problems and experimentation based questions ”
“Standardized”
“The process was rigorous. SQL speed and precision is the key. In depth product sense, modelling concepts are needed.”
“The process was overall good, recruiter provided lots of advice and pointers for what to study. The biggest challenege is the pressure and time crunch on making sure you can answer everything but maintaining accuracy.”
“The process was very nice, interviewed by people that would not be in my next team, but everybody was exceptionally nice. The questions in the ML system design round were not very deep and were more systems-oriented. ”
“Initially considered for IC6 but performed poorly in the system design so got down-leveled to IC5. For IC6 consider how your system interacts with other systems.”
