I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics America (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
First round screen. Half an hour for solving a coding problem. Solved it completely with test cases passing. Missed on the time complexity. It wasn't trivial to quantify. Half an hour for deep dive on previous project.
Got an email for not moving forward after 3 weeks.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics America
Interview
I received a referral from my friend, which led to an initial call with a recruiter. The conversation went well, and they quickly scheduled my interview process. The first round was a 1-hour phone screen with the hiring manager, which started with a LeetCode-style coding question. After that, we moved on to a discussion about my background, technical skills, and relevant experience.

I applied online. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics America in Jul 2023
Interview
Applied online, talked to the recruiter, and then the technical team member. The interview was easy but I did not do any preparation because the recruiter did not give me any information. It was very standard ML questions but my memory was rusty. The interviewer had a list of questions and then checked after each answer. The interviewer was very rude and as soon as I was looking on a notebook to remind myself, would say don't cheat! He expected that you directly look at the screen all the time!

Question 1
Very standard introductory questions about different ML neural architectures and methods, e.g., CNN, transformer, LSTM, SSL, etc. If you spend 2 hours to review all these, it is very easy.
