Application

I applied online. I interviewed at SoundHound

Interview

at very first step, 6 different topics (Math, Python, C++, DSP, speech recognition and ML) with 20 to 40 multiple choice tests, was given. the process of answering to each section was not well described and there was not any demo to explain it better before starting. I couldn't have access to 3 sections totally and after asking for second chance to have access to those parts, they just sent rejection email.

Interview

It was an online multiple-choice questionnaire on CoderPad with questions on Python and machine learning. The Python questions were quite long and difficult to answer within a time limit of only 1–2 minutes. They were also heavily focused on multiprocessing and multithreading. The machine learning questions were easier and quicker to answer but were not really related to deep learning.

Broadcasting in numpy, debugging of recursive function, debugging of threading and multiprocess. SVMs , Gradient descent, decision trees

Interview

Too many rounds of interviews. First an online screening, then two rounds of 1-hr interviews (including with CTO) and a final round with 4 engineers and hiring manager. For the most part they were friendly but one of the engineers had an attitude. Each round was about 2 weeks apart.

Question 1

For the most part they were basic probability and coding. After reading other reviews, I seem to think they're recycling the interview problems: - Basic high-school probability and number puzzles. - The CTO wanted to implement a linked list, and reverse it (extra credit for in place reversal in a single pass). - One of the engineers tried to prove he was smarter than you but providing very sparse details on his problems. It was also a bit annoying when he didn't acknowledge any correct answers and simply wanted to move on to the next problem.
