Screening -> Take home coding challenge -> "Super day" consisting of 4 back-to-back behavioural interviews and technical challenge walkthrough.
Overall a good experience. The technical assessment was solid, clearly demonstrating Encord's machine learning expertise. Clear communication throughout.

Had an initial call with the recruiter. After the initial recruiter screen, had a call with the hiring manager where we discussed my background and the role. After the call with the hiring manager got an email from the recruiter a week later that they are pausing the hiring process for the role until they flushed out other parts of the team.

Entrevista
Completed a 6-round interview + 3 recruiter call process spanning 2 months, including: CEO interview, ML Lead interview, coding exercise, technical ML discussion, culture fit, and leadership interview. Process included multiple scheduling delays from their side. Technical team seemed strong, particularly in early rounds.
Received rejection after significant time investment. Feedback was unexpected and inconsistent with interview discussions - concerns about autonomy were raised despite demonstrated experience and despite having gone the extra mile in the technical by providing materials that were not asked for. Location and motivation were also cited as concerns, though these weren't meaningfully discussed during the process. Interestingly, all concerns emerged only after the final round, suggesting potential misalignment in the company's growth direction.

During the live coding interview there were 4 exercises around implementing and training a joint embedding for image-text pairs with given data in PyTorch. You were allowed to use docs and resources like stack overflow (but no AI assistants).
