Process
The process was fairly straightforward. I started by talking to a recruiter about my background and interests. I then met with the hiring manager, going into more detail on my resume and background. Finally, I ended with a virtual onsite panel with 4 interviews, each around 45 minutes.
I started with a coding-type problem and other ML concepts, followed by a system design. The last two sessions covered behavioral and product sense.
