Programming assignment + 3 technical rounds + 1/2 managerial rounds.

All rounds were online.

Round 1: DS/Algos + Machine Learning. Lasted for 75 minutes. Taken by a Staff ML Engineer.

Programming Assignment: The assignment involved concepts of both ML/NLP. It took me 2.5 days to solve, as it required tuning parameters and writing code from scratch without using any third-party libraries.

Round 2: DS/Algo + Machine Learning + Resume discussion. Lasted for 75 minutes. Taken by a Staff ML Engineer.

Round 3: Resume discussion + Machine Learning. Lasted for 1 hour. Taken by the Technical Director.

Round 4: Managerial round. Taken by the manager. He was quite rude and argumentative. He told me that all my projects were standard stuff. He asked me about my reasons for switching. I gave 4 reasons, one of which was below-market-standard compensation. After this, he started arguing, saying that no matter how much you earn, there will always be people earning more than you. I am not sure what kind of engineer he was looking for.

In the end, they rejected me, stating that my skills did not match the role. This was after I cleared all 3 technical rounds.

5 DS questions spread over 2 phone rounds

ML questions: Precision, Recall, Clustering algorithms

Resume

Assignment focused on finding document similarity
