Process

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

First a normal recruiter call, then moved on to the machine coding round, where I was tasked to solve questions regarding a real-world problem. It consisted of 5 parts, and I was able to solve 3 parts of it. The interviewer was nice, but I lacked timing.
