The interview consisted of two phone screens.
It started with a Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) evaluation through a shared CoderPad screen. The questions were LeetCode medium level in difficulty. I was also asked about the implementation of some Machine Learning (ML) concepts. The recruiter took over a month to follow up.
Round 2 tested ML knowledge and past experience. The questions focused on core concepts and involved discussion with the interviewer.
