Interview
The technical round lasted 50 minutes, including 2-3 coding challenges for 20 minutes and a machine learning case round for 30 minutes. The interviewer was really kind, and I felt comfortable discussing my approach. The questions were challenging but fair, and I appreciated the opportunity to showcase my problem-solving skills.
