J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google DeepMind (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
Responded 2 months after submitting application online. First step was a HR screen, second was a 2hr quiz via Google Hangouts. Asked questions from CS, math, ML and statistics. Interviewers were research engineers, who obviously had much more experience with CS terminology, than is required for a comp neuro research scientist position. For some reason, they value an encyclopedic knowledge more than than potential and interest. Not really sure how having a textbook definition of terminology on your finger tips is more important than knowing the general concept, and showing an interest in learning more. So, if you want a job here make sure to memorize several textbooks before applying.

J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google DeepMind (Mountain View, CA) en mai 2026
Entretien
The interview process was quite smooth. I had two research and two coding interviews. Research interviewers asked what I would like to do at GDM if I join. One of the research interviews was quite confrontational, but respectful. All the interviewers were kind.
