The interviews went well and even got good feedback from the recruiter. However, they informed after the last round that they are looking for someone with more experience. Not sure why that was not evaluated before.

HR reached out to schedule a two-part technical interview. The first round focused on coding, including one Python and one SQL question at an easy to moderate level. The second round involved a deep dive into my previous experience along with foundational questions in machine learning.

The entire process is very smooth and the HR is very helpful and communicative. I went through the entire process and they think my background is too software engineer. All the members in the interview process are super friendly and learned a lot in the interview as well
