Coding Technical
Had a first round screen. It was half an hour for solving a coding problem. Solved it completely with test cases passing. Missed on the time complexity. It wasn't trivial to quantify. Then half an hour for deep dive on previous project. Got an email for not moving forward after 3 weeks.

Technical
Applied online and then had a chat with the recruiter, followed by a technical person. The interview itself was pretty straightforward, but I hadn't really prepped since the recruiter gave me zero info. It was all very standard ML stuff, though my memory was a bit fuzzy. The interviewer had a list and ticked off questions as I answered. They were quite rude, and if I glanced at my notebook for a second, they'd jump in with 'don't cheat!' They really wanted me staring at the screen the whole time!
