Process

I applied for positions related to data science and machine learning online.

I was scheduled for a Skype interview.

The engineer asked a few questions about coding and data mining.

After a few days, I was invited to an on-site interview.

There were 4-5 rounds of technical interviews, and most problems were related to coding, machine learning, and some design problems.

The whole process was nice and comfortable. Engineers and recruiters were very patient and active in meeting my requirements and answering my questions.

I feel very happy about the interviewing process.
