Process

The interview process included an online coding test, a 24-hour take-home exam, and a Zoom interview. The interview focused on Python and some easy-to-medium LeetCode questions.

I initially expected questions related to deep learning, but the position appears to be for entry-level software engineers fresh out of undergrad.
