J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Nokia (Helsinki, Finlande-Méridionale) en sept. 2019
Entretien
Two technical interviews with research PIs. Both were quite friendly and relaxed. The interviewer were positive and tried to help me respond the questions in case I didn't know the answer.

Question 1
Technical questions about neural networks and deep learning approaches, from easy ones to harder questions.
Examples:
1. what is backpropagation and why is it used?
2. what is dropout and why is it used?
3. some easy-medium difficulty questions on linear algebra.
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Nokia (Sunnyvale, CA)
Entretien
I found the job through my personal/professional network. I discussed with my hiring manager before submitting my resume to HR. HR then scheduled an on-site interview. I started by giving a presentation to the whole group on my background. The interview was most of a day (10-4) and they took me to lunch as a team. I was interviewed by about 6 people, who asked a wide variety of questions. Some basic questions about my technical background and simple coding were asked, but no significant brain teasers. The atmosphere was one of mutual respect. I felt that both parties were feeling out a personality fit as much as for technical competency.

Question 1
The question that threw me off the most was "What do you want to learn in the next X years?" Not something I had thought about. Technical questions were not meant to be challenging, just checking basics.
