Process
I received a link to a coding challenge that was fairly easy. Three hours were given, which was more than enough time.
The interviewer seemed very friendly and knowledgeable.
It did seem from the experience that they were not looking to hire a standard new grad software engineer, but rather someone with a focused skillset in machine learning.
