I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics
Interview
I had a technical phone interview first, where I was asked about my previous experience and some questions on deep learning. I then had a group interview, with 2 NLP scientists and the manager of the team. After that, I had a brief interview with the head of the department (nontechnical), and then I had a discussion with HR on my salary expectations, and other offers I had at the time.

Question 1
I was asked how to efficiently find and list all the subdirectories of a given directory (recursive implementation), I found LeetCode helped for this. I was then given Python code and asked what that code represented. It ended up being an implementation of a feedforward pass through a neural network and back propagation to update the weights of the network (AceAI Interview Prep had good questions on deep learning to prepare for this).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics in Apr 2025
Interview
O profissional de RH que foi fazer entrevista comigo desmarcou 2x em cima da hora, sem ter nenhuma consideração com o meu tempo. Na segunda etapa do processo, após entrevista técnica, contactei o RH para saber do andamento do processo após 1 ou 2 semanas. Não obtive nenhuma resposta.
