I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google DeepMind
Interview
Everything is done via video chat. Company is very flexible on interview scheduling. You can take long breaks between interviews to have time to prepare. Interviews are tough, but friendly. Very positive experience overall - the best I ever had when applying for software development jobs.
You need to study hard for those interviews.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (London, England)
Interview
Three stages, 1) Recruiter call, 2) 2 Coding Interviews + 1 ML Fundamentals interview, 3) ML Design + an interview with the Lead Researcher
I failed at the second stage, where I sadly didn't do well in one of the coding interviews. Both the coding interviews were Leetcode mediums, and the ML fundamentals one was what you would expect: optimization, regularization, loss functions, transformers, as well as practical training and inference questions.
