Interview process

I was very unprepared for the system design part. Also the ML coding was difficult and I did not have enough time to complete.

    Technical round

    1. Q1. RAG system design (design a system for RAG on complex stock data that requires numerical precision)

Tips from the candidate

Deep ML, generic ML problem but needs to be done extremely fast, prepare RAG agentic system design. Prepare talking about your own projects and skills.

Company culture

Really quick and efficient. The info provided by the recruiter was misleading... and that made me come unprepared.
