Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google DeepMind (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
Responded 2 months after submitting application online. First step was a HR screen, second was a 2hr quiz via Google Hangouts. Asked questions from CS, math, ML and statistics. Interviewers were research engineers, who obviously had much more experience with CS terminology, than is required for a comp neuro research scientist position. For some reason, they value an encyclopedic knowledge more than than potential and interest. Not really sure how having a textbook definition of terminology on your finger tips is more important than knowing the general concept, and showing an interest in learning more. So, if you want a job here make sure to memorize several textbooks before applying.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google DeepMind (Mountain View, CA) nel mese di mag 2026
Colloquio
The interview process was quite smooth. I had two research and two coding interviews. Research interviewers asked what I would like to do at GDM if I join. One of the research interviews was quite confrontational, but respectful. All the interviewers were kind.
