I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months.

The interview was entirely project-oriented. It started with a brief self-introduction and quickly transitioned into a deep dive into my technical projects, specifically my Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) project. I was asked detailed questions regarding its system architecture, real-world utility, comparative advantages over fine-tuning or simple prompt engineering, and how it effectively solves problem-specific challenges like hallucinations.

Towards the end, the interviewer shifted to behavioral and HR questions, covering my experience working in a team environment, collaboration styles, and a specific instance where I successfully implemented constructive suggestions from a senior team member into my workflow.
