The interview takes 1 hour. We discussed my research for almost 50 mins. The rest 10 mins are for the simple coding questions. I interviewed with the Chinese team. They are focus on AI for science.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about your research, and they will also ask for a lot of details.
three technical interviews focused on problem-solving, coding, and core computer science fundamentals. Depending on the role, there may also be discussions around past research or project experience, system design, or domain-specific knowledge
Round of introductions. First discussion about research with a focus on current project and past experience, then worked on leetcode-style coding questions with subquestions that talk a bit about system design.
