After 1 week, got the onsite in Boston, MA. I had three rounds of interview . Two were case study/ ML/DL discussion. One round coding

Interview
I got to the first interview stage fairly quickly - within one week of applying. While they told me roughly when the interview will be (a couple days' window), the exact time of the interview was informed to me less than 24 hours before. The interviewer was nice and I think I could correctly solve all the questions (maybe not as fastly and efficiently as they expected). After two weeks of the interview, I wrote to them asking for an update but there was no response. It has been over a month since the interview but still no update. If a candidate is rejected, I think he/she deserves the courtesy of being informed about it.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Nov 2018
