The interview process started with an aptitude test that covered numerical reasoning and logic. Then there was an MLE test with a study case and multiple-choice questions. This was followed by a user interview with the Lead. Next, I had to work on a study case involving an E2E ML Pipeline, and I was asked questions about NLP and Computer Vision. Finally, I had to explain my last project, and there was another user interview with the CTO before an offer was extended.
