Behavioral Other
The interview process felt a little disorganized, and there was a significant delay in hearing back. It took about three weeks from the interview date until I received the offer. The interview itself was pretty straightforward and felt more like a casual conversation than a tough interrogation, which was a pleasant experience.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview process involved a few stages. First, there was an assignment where I had to build both a classification model and a prediction model using their company's dataset. After that, there was another assignment focused on building a ranking algorithm. Then, I had a telephonic interview with HR, followed by a technical Skype interview with a Data Scientist.
