I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cerebras (CA)
Interview
It was a three round interview, first one was with the hiring manager and the next two were about RL post training concepts. The hiring manager looked bored and kept yawning which I found to be rude. The other two interviewers were professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain my previous work to the hiring manager. Explain the decisions I made and the trade-offs. The technical rounds did not include live coding. They asked about metrics to look out for during RL training.
Talk with director seemed nice we will see how coding goes as they use hackerrank and idk what problems they ask and if they want everyone memorize everything.. .... im very interested in this job
