Interview process

The process was well organized and technically rigorous. Interviewers focused on problem-solving and practical imaging knowledge. What caught me off guard was the depth of questions on camera systems and image processing details.

    1. Q1. How would you use diffusion models for image denoising?
    2. Q2. Why are diffusion models slow?
    3. Q3. What does Fourier Transform mean physically?

Tips from the candidate

More domain-specific than other big tech interviews. There was less emphasis on LeetCode-style coding and more focus on imaging, computer vision, and real-world engineering trade-offs.

Company culture

Review the smartphone camera pipeline, image processing fundamentals, Fourier transforms, computer vision, and ML-based image restoration. Be ready to discuss past projects in depth.
