I was contacted by a Sr. Recruiter - he confirmed the first phone interview with him. But the day of the interview he never called that day. I sent him a follow-up email and no reply to the email either. Before the interview I checked the reviews of the company, a couple of people had eluded to similar experience but I truly thought that is very unprofessional for a company of this caliber to have its HR recruiters behave as such. But lo and behold, it sure turned to be true to my deep surprise!!!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter didn't call me. So no questions was asked.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nuance (Montreal, QC)
Interview
I introduced myself. The interviewer introduced himself. Then I started to describe my ML related research and project experience. The interviewer occasionally asked me some questions related to my experience. After that, the interviewers started to ask ML annd NLP related questions. The answers he expected were general ones. No need to dig into details. After the Q&A, he introduced briefly his team, and asked me whether I have any questions for them. Finally, he asked me to take the next run of interview.
