Interview
I took a hangman assessment followed by an interview. Hangman assessment was straightforward but the interview was bizarre. I asked about growth in the company and was basically told that there is none. Interview questions seemed very ad hoc and the interviewer seemed tired and disinterested.

Great interview. The interviewer asked basic questions related to machine learning, a few CP questions and dived into my projects. Overall a good experience. He also asked about my hobbies and interests and looked past the technical skills.
