J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez SoundHound (Toronto, ON)
Entretien
Received online assessment and there are many knowledge tests for you to choose from, but you need to at least choose 3 of them. Each question will have limited time to answer, which is annoying because it also needs time to understand the long question and read through each choice. Time is too short to think deeply. Overall, the OA is a bit hard compared to other tests I did for the same role. After I finished the test on Friday, I got a rejection email next Monday morning.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The knowledge they test is broad, ranging from programming to stats to domain knowledge and deep learning.
Clear recruiting process but with many rounds over several months.
A lot of coding interviews and a few more about machine learning and statistics.
Interviewers were super friendly, but demanding and challenging.
Overall a nice experience, but a very long one, balanced by the fact that interviewers made me want to work there.

Entretien
I initially completed an online assessment that took at least an hour and a half. Afterward, I received an email from HR and had a 30-minute conversation about the company, the role, and the next steps. Following that, I had a one-hour interview where we discussed the position in more detail, and I had the opportunity to share my experience and skills.
While I felt the interview went okay, I expected at least an update on the status of my application. After waiting a week with no response, I reached out to them for an update and was told they'd discuss it with the interviewer and get back to me as soon as possible. It's now been a month, and I'm disappointed that I haven't even received a generic update, especially after investing three hours in interviews, not to mention the time spent on preparation. What a waste of time!
