J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Apple (Paris) en août 2023
Entretien
My interview process started with a casual, 30-minute conversation with a research group leader, who mentioned that candidates applying for research roles skip the coding interview. Next, I gave a 45-minute presentation about my research, which was followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. Then I had several one-on-one Zoom interviews, each lasting about an hour. Two were with HR and involved general interview questions. The others were with researchers from the group, and each interviewer had a different style. One interviewer focused on rapid-fire questions about statistical modeling, another preferred an open-ended discussion about research ideas, and another asked technical questions on LLM architectures.
