Do interviews tend to include system design, if the applicant doesn't have industry experience?
Been curious about this too: do FAANG companies hire, say, professors with strong research records, but poor coding skills? I always wondered if everyone on these sort of team were all solid coders, or if there were people there that are exceptions.
Based on your experience do FAANG companies tend to be invested in basic research, or more product focused research?

- high_derivative 6y agoSystem design is not a typical part of a research interview. Yes, they do. The rule of thumb is: The higher the level you are hired, the more wiggle room is there. A random PhD grad will need to pass the normal coding screens which are carried out by SWEs who do not know anything about the candidate. Last q depends on the FAANG org, everything exists. MS research is very pure, Amazon/Apple very applied, everything in between.
