1. Call with the Recruiter: The questions were general and non-technical, such as "Tell me about yourself and your experience" and "Why are you interested in Ninety?" Typical questions that you'd expect from a non-technical recruiter. 2. Technical Interview: First part: I was asked to explain a sentiment analysis implementation, walking through the code line by line while thinking out loud. This included discussing how the code works, identifying the hyper-parameters, and suggesting ways to tune and improve performance.
