1st round: leetcode + ML system design (oral)
2nd round: resume walk-through + ML system design (NLP) (coding)
HM round: resume walk-through + introduce the team.
HR round: talk about the offer.
very negative experience. The interviewer seems very impatient and only conducted a 20-minute interview for a supposed one hour technical interview. And did not get feedback for a very long time.
