Vicarious Researcher interview questions

Had an initial phone interview and received an invite for the second interview. But after that they stopped responding and when I contacted the HR manager later, they said they are not proceeding with my application.

I first went through a phone screening, phone interview, and coding problem via phone and online programming interface. All of these were fairly relaxed and straightforward. But then, after learning that I would be having an onsite interview, they suddenly stopped replying for 3 weeks. When I finally did get onsite, I was confused the whole time. No one told me what the schedule was, and I sat in a room until someone came to tell me I was supposed to be presenting. The questions were hard and expected a good theoretical understanding of ML. That itself was okay, but I recommend interviewees to come in prepared. The person in charge of organizing my interview didn't really brief me before or after. He said hi from across the room when I arrived. When I left, there was also no follow up and I saw myself out. 2 weeks after my interview, I sent an email follow up and got the rejection. The individual people I spoke with were friendly and helped when able to. However, there was a lack of communication and organization overall. I hope this was a temporary problem as they seek new operations people to improve the recruitment process.
