So, it was three technical rounds and then a hiring manager round. The first round, they asked about my resume and then one coding problem about figuring out the minimum number of platforms needed based on arrival and departure times. The second round was focused on ML and deep learning, specifically questions about recommendation engines. The third round was just a puzzle.
