Interview
Main interview loop will have five rounds including coding, ML breadth & depth, ML application, and a bar raiser round where I was asked only behavioural questions.
Each session lasts one hour. All interviewers seemed nice and friendly but I found the ML breadth questions very extensive. But otherwise the interview difficulty is comparable to other big firms based in US.
