The take-home assignment was very time-consuming and required a significant amount of effort. After completing it, I received an email to schedule the virtual onsite interview. However, the actual virtual onsite experience was different from what had been described in the email. In particular, the interview questions were not clearly explained, which made it difficult to understand what was being asked and how to respond effectively.

around one hour call implementing popular loss used in speech to text model with a slight variation suited for mobile inference. solved the question in time and answered recruiter's questions but still got rejected without any clarity as to why. overall, lot of time spent preparing for seemingly arbitrary result.
