@mlwhiz I'm not sure, their job posting doesn't specify it explicitly. It seems more essential to have strong machine learning fundamentals.

Great opportunity, but I wonder if they require previous experience with deep learning.

From what I've heard, they value concepts over specific tools or frameworks. TensorFlow/PyTorch expertise is great, but not strictly mandatory.

Any idea what the work environment looks like? I find Google's campuses appealing but heard mixed opinions on work-life balance.

They're very data-driven, as you'd expect, but maintain a startup-like atmosphere. However, with Google's resources at your disposal, burnout may still be a concern.

I'm curious how their onboarding procedure works, especially for machine learning roles.

DeepMind usually encourages candidates to develop their skills through research, and the onboarding is designed to help you ramp up quickly. They might give you a small research problem to solve and assign you a mentor.

Does anyone know what the interview process looks like? Are there algorithmic or conceptual questions, or is it more hands-on focused?

It's a combination of all. Algorithmic, data structure, and computer science fundamentals are particularly important. For the hands-on portion, Jupyter Notebook exercises are used to assess your machine learning and coding skills.
