The ML round mainly consists of oral questions about core machine learning concepts.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (Mountain View, CA) in May 2026
Interview
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.
7 -9 rounds depending on candidate. The rounds involved 1-3 scientists taking test on leetcode style questions, AI fundamentals, Transformers, Finetuning, Training approach of large models like Gemini, Deepseek etc.
