Coding Technical
Started with an HR reachout, then an online assessment covering ML and DSA. After that, a technical interview involved 1-2 LeetCode medium/hard problems. The process concluded with an onsite superday, though I didn't proceed to the final round. My overall experience was positive, but surprisingly, no specific data science or machine learning questions were asked. The tech round itself went well, but the feedback from HR was that the team was seeking a candidate with 'more experience'.
Confirmed questions2 questions

- Were you asked any LeetCode-style algorithm or data structure questions, likely of medium difficulty?

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was not great. There were a couple of good interviews, but then I interviewed with the CEO, and it was strange. He asked odd questions, making it seem like I was exaggerating my experience. After being ghosted for two weeks, I followed up and was then rejected.
