The recruitment process began with an aptitude test, followed by a hackathon, and finally an HR round.

This time, they recruited through a hackathon where we received the questions six days in advance. Teams of four were formed randomly.

It was one of the most unfair and pointless recruitments I have ever seen. The coding was to be done on August 21st in a hackathon for eight hours, and the final presentation was also to be given on the 21st. The process was horrible!

They didn't know anything about the part an individual played in the project. They randomly picked approximately 25 people for the HR round, and most of the people who actually developed the algorithm/code were not even shortlisted for the HR round. They were in a lot of hurry as they had to catch a flight back at 6 pm on the same day.

RESULT: They selected people who did absolutely nothing in the hackathon/project. Literally nothing!

People who were very, very good at ML were sitting without a job, and some random students were offered the job. One of the worst experiences I have ever come across.

I feel like DELL didn't even deserve good students this time. It was 0.00% technical skill and 100% luck.

They just asked if the project even works or not. They didn't even bother to see if the prediction is correct or if an individual has even contributed to the project.
