Online test, phone interview, Skype technical interview, onsite. NC office very hands on actual business challenges, Align totally dominates its market but growing is impeded by limited NC talent pool. After talking to CA office low managers, unclear business goals, lack of perspective and insight, narrow technical expertise. Detached from new technology developments outside of the company. CA research is a weak link, company overall might be safe due to the current market conditions, but near future is not as bright due to new developments in 3-D printing.

Two stage Interview Process: 1. First technical interview about experience and skills: was confronted with an actual business problem they are facing and was asked about how I would go about solving 2. Coding and Machine Learning Interview: was held as two separate sessions - the coding one was a classical Leet Code interview with additional technical questions on ML concepts in the final part of the interview - for the ML Interview I was asked to select and review a paper (I chose "Attention Is All You Need") from a list they gave me which we then discussed in quite a lot of detail
