Process
I was contacted by a recruiter. I had a coding phone interview first, followed by virtual on-site interviews covering coding, ML system design, system design, and behavioral aspects. The recruiter was told I would probably get an offer, but I was rejected the next week.
Questions
The coding questions were medium-level Leetcode questions. The system design question was designing a web crawler.
