      Member Of Technical Staff Interview

      Oct 28, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Berkeley, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Voleon (Berkeley, CA) in Sep 2020

      Interview

      Phone screening with recruiter, then technical screening with one of the senior members of the technical staff (past experience, numerical optimization questions, and areas of preference). Phone screen was pleasant and interviewer gave the right amount of hints and push when stuck. Proceeded with virtual "onsite": first day theory of ML and applied stats. Second day was supposed to be coding and past experiences, but did not make it. Theory of ML was mostly around linear regression and tree-based learning. Applied stats was an open-ended discussion on how to apply time-series analysis to some concrete problem. Overall experience was good. I bombed the ML portion so it made sense not to move on. I really enjoyed the applied stats portion.

      Member Of Technical Staff Interview

      Dec 28, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Berkeley, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Voleon (Berkeley, CA) in Nov 2024

      Interview

      The interview experience is terrible. I applied on Voleon's website. Recruiter had a first round call with me. Then I had the screening scheduled with one of the member of technical staff. In the interview, there were, surprisingly, two interviewers, the one who was scheduled to interview me arrives 5 mins late and did not open his camera. Another interviewer interviewed me. The interview has a bunch of geometry questions that are not relevant to quant research, and those questions are not reasonable ones to evaluate candidate's stats, ml, and data skills. The interviewers gave no hints, almost no interactions. Moreover, interviewers also have strong accent. It is hard to understand what the interviewers are talking about. I agree with other reviews here that, Voleon's interview is not like solving a problem together to test candidate's reasonining and knowledge, but rather expect you to remember som random things. I also agree with other reviews here that these so-called "open-ended" questions are just meant to grill you. In sum, I think this company's interview questions are meaningless, and the interview experience is terrible.
