I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon in Jun 2013
Interview
I applied the position online. The recruiter emailed me in a couple of days and set up a phone interview in the next week. The interview started smoothly. After introducing each other's background, I got a chance to ask question. But, I didn't present my idea very well. Then we headed to the technical part. The first question was about probability and statistics. It's not a hard question. But, since I'm not a native speaker, I have difficulties in using exact terms, and I forgot the most important term behind the question - maximum likelihood. Anyway, I think it's my self who did not show the best of myself.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Given a coin, you can toss it and get head or tail. How can you get the probability of head in next toss? How much confidence for the number you give? What's the idea behind this?
2. Check whether 2 points are on the same line.
