Long and arduous, with little or sporadic communication. After jumping through all the many hoops, they just ghosted and gave no response. Every interviewer was late, and it was like they were coming up with questions on the spot; very ill prepared, and some of them didn't even know who you were or what position you were interviewing for.

I interviewed for a Machine Learning Engineer position at IsomorphicLabs, and the process was quite comprehensive. It consists of an initial interview with a recruiter, a take-home assignment consisting of two parts that took a few hours to complete, and four virtual onsite interviews: 1. Algorithms and Data Structures: a medium-level LeetCode-style question, similar to what you’d expect from most tech companies. 2. ML Debugging: a collaborative session focused on troubleshooting ML-related issues 3. Hiring Manager Discussion: covering ML theory and a practical case 4. Behavioral and Cultural Fit: Assessing alignment with the company’s values. The interviewers were outstanding, with a few standing out as the best I’ve encountered in my career. The talent coordinator was also very helpful and supportive throughout, making the entire process enjoyable. Overall, IsomorphicLabs has a remarkable culture and a team of genuinely great people, making it a fantastic place to work.
