Process
I applied online and received a call from a recruiter to discuss my past experience.
After that, I had a technical interview focused on building an ML model. It was quite straightforward, with some follow-up questions at the end.
Next, I proceeded to an onsite round, which involved four interviews:
- Two on DSA (not LeetCode style).
- One Q&A on ML.
- One behavioral interview.
In some technical interviews, the interviewer may ask behavioral questions before delving into the technical aspects. Keep your answers concise to avoid consuming too much time for the technical portion.
You will receive a result within a few days, but do not expect the recruiter to provide any feedback.
