First had a call with the recruiter, then had two interviews as part of the first round. Got rejected after that. It was surprising to get rejected as my interview had gone well.

The first interview was very exploratory and required knowledge of calculus concepts. The second interview consisted of simple Leetcode sort of questions. They mostly wanted coding in C++.

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.
