I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (Paris) in May 2025
Interview
Whole interview was based on the cross entropy loss function. Why it was preferred earlier and how focal loss function overcomes this issue ? They thoroughly checked understanding of deep Learning frameworks.

Question 1
How can we optimize the focal loss over the Cross Entropy loss function ?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google DeepMind in Dec 2023
Interview
Fairly standard process, the coding was harder than other ones I'd done which was to be expected, also just the pressue of 2 people watching you made me more nervous, I'd thought it was only going to be one other person so it shook me from the get go

Question 1
Why do you want to work at DeepMind over other frontier AI orgs?
Coding - classes used not funcitonal so prepare for this
I unfortunately was not selected for the further recruitment steps by the CV screening for that position as they found more suitable candidates for that specific position that I had applied for.
