Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The technical interview took around 20 minutes! The interviewers asked 4 very simple and general questions about image processing, deep learning, etc. (one of the questions was not clear).
I don't think this interview could tell anything about someone's knowledge/skills. It seemed like a formality, token interview.
The HR interviewers also seemed highly unprofessional.
