Technical Case Behavioral

The process was good and they followed up well. It started with HR, then a chat with a team member, followed by two case-driven interviews. The final stage involved meeting with a general manager, and then HR again as the last step.

Technical Behavioral

I applied online and got an interview scheduled. The first round was with the team lead, not HR. He asked many theoretical machine learning questions and was impatient and arrogant, interrupting me during my intro and answers. The second round was a task where I had to explain my approach and results. He claimed one of my ML answers was wrong, though my professor and ChatGPT confirmed it was correct. He then sent a long email justifying his incorrect answer and rejecting my application. The entire process was unprofessional and unpleasant, the most arrogant interview I've experienced.
