Research Engineer Interview Questions

2,800 research engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Round 1 : DSA - Quick Introduction. Projects done etc. - 5M elements array- which sorting to use? - -> Quick Sort or Heap Sort. - Given a sorted array, find the sum of two numbers equal to 9. -> Solved by 2 pointers - Python - Multiple vs Multilevel inheritance - available in python or not? - Python - List vs Tuple - Linked List vs Arrays - Give some examples of linear and non-linear data structures. Round 2: Questions asked in the interview: 1. Brief about experience and projects. 2. Other projects? Customer Support Chatbot? -> Explain LSTM architecture. 3. MLOps? 4. BERT - Input format? Output -> CLS? 5. BERT - self-attention vs attention mechanism? 6. How model training is done in BERT? -> 7. NLP classic - very basic questions.

1. Computer Architecture questions(locality, pipelining) 2. Math test(basic probability,permutation and combination) 3. Basic coding test(predict outputs and easy coding questions) 4. Computer Architecture test which is of medium difficulty. A lot of C# code around multi threading and optimization. 5. Plenty of behavioral questions(past experience and expectations).

Online Coding Test had 3 problems but if you can solve 2 of them, I think they let you pass. 1st round of interview: They asked about my research project and my skills and my research area. 2nd round of interview: They asked about my paper and what are the strengths and how I would improve it. 3nd round of interview with HR: They asked me how would I describe my self in word, What are my strengths and weakness, Have you had any difficulties in school. Final interview with HR and Senior Engineer: I told them about my research project and how my research would fit to the company. But I think they did not like my research.
