I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google DeepMind (London, England)
Interview
Three stages, 1) Recruiter call, 2) 2 Coding Interviews + 1 ML Fundamentals interview, 3) ML Design + an interview with the Lead Researcher
I failed at the second stage, where I sadly didn't do well in one of the coding interviews. Both the coding interviews were Leetcode mediums, and the ML fundamentals one was what you would expect: optimization, regularization, loss functions, transformers, as well as practical training and inference questions.
