I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Recogni (Munich, Bavaria) in Mar 2025
Interview
They are not hiring working students they are hiring a full stack Data Scientist, Software Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, DevOps Engineer, and Cloud Engineer. You can get a job at Google more easily then at Recogni.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Live Coding Challenge was very complex and very short time.
New grad interview. The interview is about 1 hour. 20 mins behavioral, 40 mins technical. The behavior is mainly about past experience. The technical part are c coding, verilog coding
The first round was with the hiring manager. It was a nice and open chat about the role, company and my background.
The second interview consisted mainly of small standard questions: Attention layer, L1 sparsity regularization, backpropagation, vanishing/exploding gradients, etc. The interviewer just wanted to hear the standard three-sentence textbook answer, no further discussion.
I have not heard back from them for a more than a month. The recruiter, which was always quite responsive while scheduling the interviews, has ghosted me and did not reply my requests for a status update.
