I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bio-Rad Laboratories (Boulder, CO) in Feb 2024
Interview
It was a very thorough interview process which involved several technical questions on circuits and software, live coding examples and general personal disposition discussions.
It also called for several personal references.
1. The interviewer asked me to demo my app live whereas one of the managers earlier told me that I should prepare to go through some of the code. The company needs to give instructions more clearly.
2. As I was working my way through the eigenvector question, the interviewer got confused and answered the question himself and didn't give me the chance to work on it even though we finished early at the end
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Demo one of your app
2. Explain neural net
3. Explain use of eigenvector in AI/ML
4. List the PUT, POST, etc from memory and list all the differences, which was a weird memory question that doesn't necessarily check your understanding.
5. Which is faster?, sql join or nosql lookup?
2 or more questions can't remember exactly
