Candidate-reported interview process

I started by presenting my current research project, and the interviewer asked a few questions about it. Then, they asked some questions about machine learning and architecture. The interview was 30 minutes long.

There were two interviews, each lasting an hour with 2-3 researchers from the team. The vibe was super friendly. They asked both general questions and some really specific ones, covering the basics of the field and diving deep into my past projects. It was pretty challenging but not stressful at all, and they were always respectful. No 'behavioral' stuff, but they did ask about my interests and what I'm looking for.

I applied as a research intern and the process of shortlisting was quick. I had my virtual interview and the process of the interview was very good, but I was not selected.
