Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - United States

July 31, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a phone screen with the recruiter as a first round, after which I was scheduled for a technical interview.

The interview consisted of two parts: ML theory and LeetCode.

I performed well in both but was rejected with a generic rejection email.

I reached out to my interviewer on LinkedIn, and he mentioned that he had given approval to proceed to the next round, but it seems the HR had rejected me.

Upon following up with the HR multiple times for feedback, she ghosted me.
