      Research Scientist Interview

      5 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Superhuman (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      The interview process with Grammarly is definitely one of the best interview experiences I have ever had. I got the letter about their position from my advisor and the jobs they are doing look really attractive to me. I was asked to do a coding task for a practical NLP problem, after passing the task I had a video interview with the CEO directly. The CEO is very open-minded and the questions asked were basically behavior questions. After the interview, we decided that we had a good match in values and I was invited to visit their office in SF. In their SF office I met their VPs and gave a talk about my thesis. I also had a round of technical interview with one of their engineers. All the people I met were sharp and super helpful. The CEO is a very determined person and we talked a lot about the plans of the company, all the experiences I have shows that the company has a great team atmosphere and has plenty of talented people. They offered me a premium version of their product to help me understand their product. They even offered me a free trip to New York to help me make my decisions after the interview. Through the New York trip, the head of the research lab (he is an excellent researcher in our field) scheduled everything for me. To sum up, this is definitely one of the best companies I have ever met in my interviews. The company shows great respect for its interviewees, the CEO is a very determined person who clearly know what he is doing and what he is planning to do. All the people in the company are hard-working, talented and helpful. I can see great potential in the company and I strongly believe in the future of the company. While I decided to take another offer due to my current status, I am still looking forward to working with them some day in the future.

      Interview questions [1]

      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Superhuman (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Too much confusion on their side. They did not have a clear role in mind (no qualifications or job description was specified) but were still interviewing. I had asked them about this repeatedly but they assured me that they had 'a plan in mind'. The on-site interview was not timed properly, their interviewers had to leave 15 minutes early or were 30 minutes late. They asked me to focus completely on the research experiences and later said I don't have enough 'software' or 'production' skills.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      On-Site: All college projects, experience working with professors, internships, and industrial experiences. Behavioral questions. NLP, pipelining, algorithms and AI framework related questions. Gave a research presentation on my work. Ideas on how to improve their product. Phone interview: NLP, ML and statistics questions.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Superhuman in Jun 2017

      Interview

      After applying online, I had a 30 minutes call with a person from HR. She sent me a simple data science project in which I had to predict the misplacement of English articles (a,an,the). The project came with a readme explaining that for the evaluation metric a value of 0.5 was very good, while the best ever value was close to 0.8. I built a working system that achieved 0.55 in only two days and submitted the project. Never heard back from them for two weeks, and after a lot of anxiety I asked for an update and got the default email telling that I was rejected. If all that they wanted was something close to 0.8, why bothering to say that 0.5 is very good? My advice for future applicants is to aim for the maximal value you can get. This seems like a good company to work, but I am very disappointed with this interview processing.

      Research Scientist Interview

      20 Mar 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Superhuman (New York, NY) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      I was given a take-home coding task which was definitely not a typical interview task, but rather a real work project. Producing the simplest solution took me 8 hours, I didn't mind doing it just out of curiosity. After I submitted my solution, I got no feedback, just an automatic response that I don't fit.
