The process was pretty standard: first, I submitted my resume, then there was a technical assessment and a one-way video interview. After that, I had a call with HR. Finally, there were multiple rounds of interviews with different managers in the data science group, and a group activity.

Behavioral Technical
I spoke with a recruiter from a consultancy, but they weren't clear about the job description. One JD was sent, then another from the company, and the designation wasn't even clear. They mentioned multiple openings. I was called into the office for the interview, but the interviews didn't seem well-planned for senior roles.
