      GPU Software Engineer Interview

      5 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (London, England) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Aside from the preparatory recruiter/HR phone calls, first "real" interview was a screen consisting of four-part questionnaire on CS, calculus&linear algebra, probability, and statistics, lasting about two hours over Google hangouts. Only the first two parts were close to my competences (unlike the second two), but since for a position with software engineering edge it would be more or less expected, I did make it to the next stage. The next interview was another Google hangouts screen with a prospective teammate lasting about an hour, where the questions were more specific to software engineering and GPU/parallel programming in particular. That seemed to go quite well: nothing uncomfortable or even slightly challenging after having worked within this field for a number of years (including being employed by two GPU vendors). Then the most unexplainable happened -- I was dropped out of the process with the formulation that my answers in the second round "seemed to lack depth". What a waste of time!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Fair amount of questions in the first technical interview, but most of them requiring only cursory familiarity with each of the four corresponding subjects. Second round was more specific to the particular vacancy -- more or less standard software engineering/parallel programming/GPU trivia.
