I was emailed by an HR representative to set up a 30-minute phone interview with a Solution Leader. They never called me at the scheduled time. They had to reschedule for the next day, which required me to cancel a meeting at my current work. So unprofessional!

The phone screen focused on my past experience and my exposure to ML/AI. More specifically, they wanted to know if I had any experience collecting requirements from clients and providing them to a development team for a project/solution. They wanted to know how I keep a clear line of communication with clients. Finally, we talked about my understanding of AI/ML.

The process took two weeks and included a background interview and a writing assignment. The writing assignment was to present five use cases in the federal government where ML/AI could help solve problems. I feel like this is an easy way to steal people's ideas. However, they want you to "dumb down" ML/AI and present it in a use case for a federal client. It's also a great way for them to assess your understanding of federal problems and how to recommend a solution with ML/AI.

After seven days of superior research and probably writing the best paper of my life, I received a rejection email the next day stating they could not proceed with my writing assignment.

If a federal client had a problem, how can ML/AI solve the problem and save the client money?
