Terrible interview process overall. It took months to get from start to finish. The day of the on-site, one of the interviewers canceled two hours before his time slot and they couldn’t find a replacement. I then had to pressure the recruiters to schedule it for another day. How is that my job?
One of the interviewers, a software engineer who leads a perception team, was just terrible and I almost ended up hanging up on him. He spent 30 minutes on a question about classification versus regression. What is this, 2010? I told him I didn’t know the answer he was looking for, but he refused to move onto other questions. During the system design question, he continuously interrupted me; he also said “that’s not the way I would design it”/“that’s not how I would present the solution.” This is a design question and the point is to see how I would solve it- not you dude.
Overall I’m glad I didn’t get an offer because if this level of disorganization and rudeness is what you would expect in the job, I definitely don’t want to be here anyway!

Totally a mess. Attended a recruiter screen call and received the invitation the same day. But the next round with the hiring manager was scheduled for two weeks later (although I tried to schedule it ASAP)! The hiring manager delayed the interview by one day without any clear reason, but the recruiter insisted that there were 2 headcounts available. Even the rejection was delayed to the following week.

Started with recruiter call. First round is a programming interview mainly focused on dynamic programming. solved the question but still got rejected. I interviewed for simulation team - scenario creation.
The interview is back to back 2 rounds, including general coding questions and ML related questions. The interviewers are nice and will give enough time to prepare. Follow their guidance is important.
