      Senior Applied Machine Learning Scientist Interview

      26 Nov 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Amsterdam
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Amsterdam) in May 2017

      Interview

      Complete radio silence after on-site interviews. I went through the whole interview process, including one full day of technical interviews, back to back. They simply stopped replying to any sort of communication, no reply to my emails, wouldn't accept my phone calls. I was gobsmacked by the staggering level of unprofessionalism. Who would want to work at a place like that? This was at the Amsterdam branch, formerly known as Scyfer.

      Interview questions [6]

      Question 1

      Explain the guts of Shor's quantum factoring algorithm. (this sort of came up naturally, so we figured we'd discuss it together)
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Find the primitive (and derive) of log(x)
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      Given a bag of n blue and m red marbles, what's the expected number of draws until you get a blue marble?
      1 Answer

      Question 4

      Programming on whiteboard: Efficiently compute the inner product of two sparse vectors.
      1 Answer

      Question 5

      Programming on whiteboard: Implement a regex parser.
      Answer question

      Question 6
