I interviewed at all the big bay companies (and the seattle one) for machine learning earlier this year and few of the questions were classical machine learning questions. Most of the questions were programming an computation.

Would love examples if you have any.
Each company does the 5 interview format and some of them, an Apple data science group for example, ask or a presentation of your research.

Random people from the team, group or larger org will interview you, seemingly to remove any bias. Consequently, you get a large variety of interviewers w/ different backgrounds. On average I would say only 1 out of 5 five interviewers had machine learning background and asked those questions. Most of the interviews were traditional software engineers (or Data Engineers) and asked the typical "Cracking the coding interview" questions. Sad state of affairs :(
