The overall process was rigorous and comprehensive, more challenging than many interviews I have done with other large technology companies. However, the recruiter’s guidance was accurate and genuinely helpful, which I really appreciated. The interviewers were professional and respectful, and I felt the process was designed to evaluate both technical depth and practical problem-solving ability. What went well was that the process gave me opportunities to discuss my experience, research background, and approach to problem solving. What did not go as well was that a few questions caught me off guard, especially where I needed to connect fundamentals, implementation details, and communication under time pressure. Even though I was not able to answer every question as well as I wanted, the experience helped me understand which areas I should strengthen further.

The process was well organized and technically rigorous. Interviewers focused on problem-solving and practical imaging knowledge. What caught me off guard was the depth of questions on camera systems and image processing details.

Seemed a little disorganized. Questions off the top of the interviewers' heads. No structure given to the interviewee ahead of time. Everyone was very nice

Very disorganized. They forget you are interviewing with them unless you remind them. The technical round was very confusing, as the interviewer kept contradicting themselves and made a sarcastic comment at the end (“Hope that was not very painful,” with a grin). I almost missed my flight home because of interview reschedules and interviewers not showing up to rounds (even though I waited with no update.) The superday consists of six rounds. If you are an early-career manager, managers seem clearly uninterested, asking robotic questions and then appearing disengaged while you answer.

Interviews went well. Company found a better candidate. I got very good feedback from my interviewers though.

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.

Friendly interviewers, open ended questions. Wanted to go through the full arc of gathering data, figuring out sensors and deisgning the ML model

The interview went very well, the interviewers were very nice. They don't ask questions out of the scope, they were very helpful and supportive. The communication was key in taking the interview, there was an area I have been asked about, showing eagerness to learn was enough for the interviewer. But, of course, I had to show solid skills in other areas. I learned from this interview that it isn't over until it's over, do not give up mid interview, just carry on answering to the best of your ability.

The interview loop was definitely more AI/ML focused than software focused. There was no leetcode really, but I did have to write a simple KNN algorithm from scratch.
