I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BILL (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2024
Interview
Interviewers are nice and supportive.
There are 3 rounds in the final interview:
1) ML Round (You'll typically start off with a discussion about some algorithms, dive deeper and general ML questions
Then there'll be a problem, try yo ask questions to understand the data better, also preprocess the data well, then you can move on to the modeling and evaluations aspects)
I messed up in this round. practice, practice, practice or you regret.
2) DSA Round (Stick to the basics, arrays and strings). This round is fairly easy.
3) Engineering Manager (Brush up on your teamwork aspects and how you worked coherently)

Question 1

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BILL (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2023
Interview
This was for a contract role and the process was a bit secretive in terms of no one could tell me what the process would be (ie how many rounds). The first interview was with the Hiring Manager who gave me 2 huge red flags. One was when she answered a question I had about management style and they started to answer that she's been "in trouble" with how she speaks to people but then caught themself before they could continue. Second flag came when they asked me to explain what a Project Manager does because they found that "several people she's worked with don't seem to understand the role". That to me makes me think they are the one with some really specific wishes/needs/wants to what PMs do that the majority of the industry doesn't agree to. Keep in mind this is for a $90K /year, IC role. I made it to 2 rounds and was told there would be a 3rd round and dropped out. That was also a red flag because who knows how many rounds there were. The fact that there's so many rounds for this dead end, contract, IC $90K role combined with the other flags makes me think this is fairly toxic environment where your manager will treat this like Devil Wears Prada.
