Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Wayfair nel mese di ago 2021
Colloquio
It started when the company recruiter reached out to me through LinkedIn for a Senior ML/manager position. I spoke with them - was very helpful. They passed my resume to the internal recruiter representing the team, then things went downhill. I had a 30-min initial call with them, nothing out of ordinary. I asked her I need to talk to the Hiring Manager as they didn't know much about the role. Next step 30 min conversation with the HM on Google Meet- total waste of time, as I am(and the HM figured it out) knew more about the ML space and I knew they would not proceed, I really didn't care about that, but out of courtesy I sent an email a few days later asking for feedback and got no response.
I do not care that they rejected me(I reject them too, their ML strategy is not mature, at least for the team I interviewed with), but I would think it is a professional courtesy and HR's job to at least respond. This is another sign of poor culture at the company.

Colloquio
Met with Hiring Recruiter
Interviewed with lead architect who was clearly not a software guy but more of a devops guy - and he interviewed me like I was applying for a devops role.
Questions didn't apply to ml engineer at all. One question was a vocabulary test and didn't align to industry common terms.
System design had nothing to do with a real world scenario
Code question was a difficult medium on leetcode.
In my opinion, they are trying to be something they are not. To get through the interview process one would need to study just like a FAANG interview, with a focus on devops...Except if one was going to prepare that hard wouldn't they go work at a FAANG company? Seems unrealistic to me, but power to them for trying to be elite.
