Technical Behavioral Presentation
The interview was a breeze, really put together well. It was a good mix of technical and behavioral stuff, which let me show off my ML skills and how I think. The questions were tough but practical, making me really dig into concepts like algorithms, getting models out there, and making them work better. It felt more like a chat than a quiz. I also liked learning about the company, how teams work together, solve problems, and the general vibe. It wasn't just about them checking me out; it gave me a good feel for what it'd be like to work there. Overall, a solid experience that taught me things and gave me a clear idea of the company.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved a few steps. First, there was an HR Get-to-Know Round to see if I was a good fit overall and talk about my background and interests. Then, a Machine Learning Round where they checked my ML knowledge, algorithms, and how I'd use them. After that, I talked to the Hiring Manager to discuss the role, the team, and if I'd fit in with the projects. Finally, a Cloud Technology Round to test how well I know cloud tech and how it applies to ML and deployment.
