Process
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks.
The process consisted of the following rounds:
- First round: An HR round for initial screening.
- Second round: A LeetCode-style coding assessment.
- Third round: A loop consisting of two LeetCode-style coding assessments, one system design, one ML practitioner, and one IC round.
