I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Few rounds of technical interviews. first round leetcode and basic machine learning questions. the interviewer was nice and patient, helped when needed, felt like collaborative experience. second round interviewer seemed to be multitasking and was rude. did not make it through to 3rd round
The interviewer was very patient. When I got stuck on coding questions, he gave me many tips.
The interview questions were not difficult, just some basic transformer/ attention mechanism questions.
