Contacted by company recruiter through LinkedIn. First stage with team manager, light technical questions. Second stage: 3 remote interviews, back to back. Last stage was supposed to be a full-team conversation for team fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
LeetCode easy problems, string manipulation. General CI/CD concepts. System design interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Borealis AI (Vancouver, BC) in July 2023
Interview
Recruiter DMed me on LinkedIn - Phone call with recruiter - Phone call with Hiring Manager - 3 Technical rounds, 1 is coding (LC medium), 1 pipeline, 1 system design. Was explicitly told system design would be general application design, but the interview was building an MLOps application. Pipeline interview was pretty straight forward. If you are interviewing, don't believe what the recruiter says for system design, I was actively misguided since I asked them if this scenario would be asked, prep ML pipelining / ML ops app design. Comp was never discussed, pretty sure they would come in with some lowball 80k TC even if they gave me an offer. Worst part, they made me wait for a month before giving the most generic rejection email lol, would not work for these guys.
