I applied online. I interviewed at Align Technology (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2024
Interview
Contacted by recruiter/talent acquisition and then 3 rounds of interviews- 30 min personal interview over video with the hiring manager, 1 hour technical over video with 3 people, then onsite for 3 interviews and to give a 45 minute presentation.
Two stage Interview Process:
1. First technical interview about experience and skills: was confronted with an actual business problem they are facing and was asked about how I would go about solving
2. Coding and Machine Learning Interview: was held as two separate sessions - the coding one was a classical Leet Code interview with additional technical questions on ML concepts in the final part of the interview - for the ML Interview I was asked to select and review a paper (I chose "Attention Is All You Need") from a list they gave me which we then discussed in quite a lot of detail
