Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us a tome when you had to deal with a difficult situation with a work colleague
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sony (Tokio) in May 2020
Interview
Applied through a headhunter, alleviate a lot of difficulty in filling your information in the job portal.
Got scheduled for an interview with the HR, lead engineer, and backend engineer.
The interview lasts for around 1 hour.
It starts with a short talk with the HR 15 mins before the scheduled time since I join early.
The interview starts with an introduction and a series of high-level technical questions and dives deeper.
The question involves:
- SLAM
- SLAM map management
- Cloud computation
- Latency
There are no questions related to deep learning which is surprising since the job title says DL.
There seems to be a disconnection between the job title and the actual job description. They try to match your CV with other job positions they have. However, candidates might not be ready or prepared to answer the questions.
The question could also dive really deep into details in which you can decline to answer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sony (Buenos Aires) in Feb 2016
