Interview
The interview process was structured and comprehensive. It started with an initial phone screening with HR, where they asked about my background and experience in machine learning. This was followed by a technical interview with a senior engineer, where I was asked to solve coding challenges and discuss my past projects. The final round was a panel interview that included a mix of behavioral and technical questions. Overall, the process took about three weeks and provided a good insight into the company's work culture and technical expectations.
