Interview
The interview process was quite chaotic and frustrating. They led me first to a wrong track (web developer) instead of a ML developer. Interviewers were not that responsive via emails. In the final interview the interviewer went abusive at the end and called me a shame - to my great shock. I hope management will heed to this review.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- In the first meeting, it was HR kind questions:- Why do you want to go freelancer?, etc
- In the online coding interview - there were three questions with a catch that last one would take longer.
- In the final interview, I thought the final question was quite random.

Interview
It starts with a video meeting. This a relaxed chat where the recruiter told a bit about the company and asked about experience and skills.
But then you have to do an online test.
In this test you get relatively small and simple programming challenges. But you have to do these insanely quickly. It something like writing 3 small programs in less than an hour.
In finished 2 programs perfectly, but I cracked under the time pressure, my mind went completely blank and I could not finish the third program.
This was one of the most horrible experiences I ever had. They asked me to try again, but no thanks.
