Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso PangaeaData.AI (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di giu 2024
Colloquio
Went through 2 stages of interview.
The first was a technical assessment to test general coding ability, some mathematics and a design question. The second was an interview with the recruiter and one of the engineers. I got quite a lot of technical questions from the recruiter.
I did not progress any further. They didn't contact me to tell me that I hadn't been rejected, and didn't answer when I contacted them.

What is the difference between a decoder and encoder and how are they connected?

Colloquio
The whole interview took me 2 months to complete consisted of 4 rounds in total. The 1st is some coding problems. The 2nd round is about few technical questions. The 3rd and 4th round asked me to do a presentation of the company & the role. The CEO and CTO during the 3rd and 4th round acted very condescending and kept asking the academic papers the company has published. The gap between each round also took incredibly long.
Overall, it was not a good interview experience. They obviously want someone with many yoe, but will put you on hold (as graduates) until last round to reject you, giving no valuable feedback at all after 4 rounds (only saying it's competitive).

Domanda 1
Tell me about the differences between LSTM and Transformer
The first round was a 2-hour technical test covering 2 coding questions, 1 MLE and 1 integral. It also had 1 question about transformers - What is the difference between an Encoder and a Decoder? I reached the second round and had a positive experience. However, I was completely ghosted. It is sad to see a company that has a goal to make people's lives better to treat its candidates like that. Essentially no respect towards our time and effort.
