I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (Mountain View, CA) in May 2026

The interview process was quite smooth. I had two research and two coding interviews. Research interviewers asked what I would like to do at GDM if I join. One of the research interviews was quite confrontational, but respectful. All the interviewers were kind.
