As the other candidate mentioned, they gave a research paper as a take-home assignment. The task itself wasn’t difficult, and they explicitly said it would only take a few hours. They also said you don’t need to implement everything — it’s fine to describe future features in the report.
I spent two full days on it and submitted. The feedback I got was basically: why didn’t you implement more of the “future direction” features and why not doing more tests using modern LLM. Using modern LLM like gpt 5 or gemini 3 will cost a lot of money for the dataset given.
Honestly, the feedback felt shallow and didn’t come across as coming from an experienced engineer. They’re supposed to be running a business consultancy, but the way this was evaluated felt more like academic research than real-world engineering. Will never ever do any take home assignment again.

Long drawn out assignment with high expectations. They give you a dataset from a research paper and expect a full solution based that could go into production - no api key given! It's not hard but equally it is very time consuming for what they are looking after. In reality, they are just a bunch of prompt engineers with no actual fine tuning or sophistication when it comes to the heart of the solution.

Its 2026 and the company still asks to do live coding with no coding assistant which i think doesn't reflect day to day work.
they can ask what they want but for me I feel they values people from Software engineering background for AI engineer roles more than some one has ML background. but its your choice! I just dont feel fit and feel waisted of time.
