Interview Process
The interview process consisted of two phone screen rounds. The first round was with a Chinese interviewer who asked detailed questions about retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), including past RAG projects, methods to reduce hallucination, and evaluation strategies. Candidates needed to be well-versed in both their specific projects and the foundational concepts of the RAG field.
The second round was with a non-Chinese interviewer who presented a challenging problem that was similar to a known hard problem but required handling decimal time instead of integer time. The candidate was unable to solve the problem, resulting in an unsuccessful outcome.
