Spoke with recruiter and 5 to 6 other people. Everyone from US acted with professionalism. One guy, based in UK, from this Customer Engineering team, the professional services team, was rude, unprofessional and conducted third world treatment during the interview.
Also every other interviewer told the same story about the company but not this guy in the UK despite being new to the job. The stuff he spoke also didn't make any sense. He seems to be doing his own stuff and passing time and being completely out of touch with reality and rest of the team/company. He would not give you time to ask questions and conducts one way interview.
The interviewer was off camera initially, and later it only showed his side. Apparently he is a newbie and not comfortable with AI, ML and Data Science. So he grabs some publicly available code base and tries (and showcases) to work and convince others that he is doing some great stuff by inserting it everywhere.
Crippled interview process coupled with contradictory information, lies and beating around the bush makes the whole process frustrating. Huge waste of time. Yes, lies from a professional services division! Based on the interview experience this place has a poor culture and is stressful (as acknowledged) to work here.
Professional services experience, sales experience
