It started with a screening call with the Manager, then there were two team rounds, each lasting forty five minutes. They asked mostly ML, Deep Learning, and Resume Based Questions. The questions were easy to medium difficulty. I heard back about the results in 3 days.

Behavioral
I submitted an application online since I'm not from the area. About a month later, they reached out for an interview. I had two 30-minute interviews back-to-back on a Wednesday, and then got the offer on Friday. The interviewers were really great, helpful, and made me enthusiastic about a company I hadn't encountered before.

Behavioral
I had a really long behavioral interview with a small panel. They asked around 10 behavioral questions, which felt like a lot. I had some answers ready, but they threw in a lot of different questions that I wasn't prepared for. Also, I struggled to use the STAR method effectively because I was new to it and felt nervous.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you share an instance where you experienced failure?
