The interview process had some positive aspects, but mostly felt quite disorganized.

Communication & Logistics: There were multiple instances of miscommunication. I was scheduled for interviews but never received the invites (only to get an email from the interviewer asking where I was). It turned out the recruiter went on vacation without finalizing the schedule. I was told I would receive detailed instructions for the onsite rounds (e.g., installation requirements, etc.), but I never received anything.

After my third round, I received a call saying feedback was mostly negative and that they would not proceed. The recruiter kindly offered to send detailed feedback, which again, never came.

Interview Experience: Most of the rounds were well-conducted and pleasant, except the second, where I didn't perform as well and it may have carried more weight than the others. One particular interview felt uncomfortable: the interviewer seemed hostile from the start, which threw me off a bit, despite the round going technically well (I answered everything clearly and provided practical insights). It felt like no answer would have been enough in that session.

Overall Experience: The content was mostly standard ML theory, touching on classical topics and a bit of language models. It leaned more towards testing broad knowledge than practical depth.

A mixed experience overall. Some rounds were engaging, but the overall coordination and inconsistency in communication were a bit disappointing.
