HR screening call, was told I was in the final few candidates, didn't hear anything back after that. HR screening was very basic and didn't have any technical questions. We just had a back and forth conversation.

The interview process had some positive aspects, but mostly felt quite disorganized. Communication & Logistics: There were multiple instances of miscommunication. I was scheduld for interviews but never received the invites (only to get an email from the interviewer asking where I am). Turns out the recruiter went on vacation without finalizing the schedule. I was told I'd receive detailed instructions for the onsite rounds (e.g. installation requirements, etc.) but I never received anything. After my third round, I received a call saying feedback was mostly negative and that they would not proceed. The recruiter kindly offered to send detailed feedback - which again, never came. Interview experience: Most of the rounds were well conducted and pleasant, except the second, where I didn't perform as well and it may have carried more weight than the others. One particular interview felt uncomfortable: the interviewer seemed hostile from the start, which threw me off a bit, despite the round going tehchnically well (I answered everything clearly and provided practical insights). It felt like no answer would have been enough in that session. Overall experience: The content was mostly standard ML theory, touching on classical topics and a bit of language models. It leaned more towards testing broad knowledge than practical depth. A mixed experience overal. Some rounds were engaging, but the overall coordination and inconsistency in communication was a bit disappointing.
