Together AI technical phone screen interview
Round 2 of 7 · 6 questions reported
- Length
- 60 min
- Format
- Live coding in CoderPad
- Heads-up
- Guides disagree: one reports two medium problems (arrays, strings, hash maps) in about 45 minutes, the other one medium-to-hard problem with an ML systems twist, like a streaming token generator or a request batcher. Some roles add an online assessment first.
