Process
I went through the screen and virtual onsite.
Most interviewers were extremely technical but were pretty bad communicators. They didn't seem very engaged with the product and had a very academic understanding of ML.
Recruiters were hard to get a hold of and unclear about expectations.
I'm not surprised their company isn't doing well.
