Couldn't recall the DBMS details and that cost me. OA was fine. Technical asked about indexing and race conditions, stuff I knew but hadn't reviewed. Then had to explain an ML project end to end including loss function choice.

Their ML OA is completely different from SWE, 3 Python questions focused on linear algebra and NumPy. then the technical interview was ML system design and they went into questions about residual connections and in context learning in LLMs. you need solid deep learning knowledge not just leetcode skills

Did not expect probability and stats MCQs on the OA but there they were alongside DSA questions. Technical covered OS topics like paging and semaphores plus a project discussion. Behavioral was standard. About four weeks total.
