      Applied AI Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Scale (New York, NY) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Overall good but demanding process. 7 rounds: 1. Recruiter call 2. Technical call (Object Oriented Programming) 3. Manager Call 4. Last round: Virtual onsite with 4 back-to-back interviews: a. Technical (OOP) b. Behavioral c. Applied ML d. ML Fundamentals The interview process is clear and they use ModernLoop to schedule interviews and get ready for them. It is very time-demanding. I did 7+ hours of interviews in total. The ML Fundamentals is reading a research paper and answering questions. Be sure to please your interviewer and be highly optimistic about LLM research and AI research. I said that ML research was not a fundamental research and I don't think the interviewer liked that. I got denied for "not performing well" at the ML Fundamentals interview. I am obviously super disappointed after dedicating that much time. I am also reassured to not work with people who cannot accept different opinions and cannot review their own process: Outside the fact that it did not go well with one interviewer if after doing well to all others does not ring like something is weird, it is sad.
