The loop was a basic recruiter chat, then a surprisingly hard LeetCode-style coding screen, then a final loop with another coding round, an ML coding round, an ML system design round, and two behavioral rounds. What really stood out was that the coding bar felt basically software-engineer level, not a watered-down MLE bar, and then on top of that they still expected solid ML depth. The strangest round for me was the final coding interview because it was more practical and diagram-based than I expected, while the behavioral rounds went deeper into the technical details of my projects than most companies do. Do not under-prepare on DSA just because the title says machine learning.” > > **Role:** Machine Learning Engineer · Staff / L6 The quoted experience is a candidate's account of a Waymo interview and is not company performance data. ## Community answers No answers contributed by the community yet. ## Related questions - [Tell me about the best engineer you ever hired.](https://www.aced.io/questions/7266/describe-best-engineer-hired) - [Tell me about a time when you dealt with a conflict with engineers.](https://www.aced.io/questions/924/conflict-with-engineers) - [Tell me about a time when you disagreed with Engineering.](https://www.aced.io/questions/263/engineering-disagreement) ## Related courses ### [Machine Learning Engineer Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/ml-engineer) ![Machine Learning Engineer Interview Prep](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/6UfkHxUyLQVfDHSfLNQtWa/1be1539a65b4f6f15201f5b573c0a578/ML_Engineer_Interview_Prep_Course.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) We prepare candidates for machine-learning roles at Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and other top companies through mock interviews, frameworks, senior-candidate advice, ML system design, core concepts, coding, and behavioral interviews. ### [Software Engineering Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/software-engineering) ![Software Engineering Interview Prep](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/4VkuYewBHUFIVUS5oJDW5h/02e833439b1289f25f38f13f81cbdca3/adobe_stock_optimized.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) We prepare candidates for software-engineering roles at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and other top companies, covering data structures, algorithms, system design, people management, behavioral interviews, and more. ## Your answer Submitting an answer marks this question complete.
