Two technical interviews, first was coding, next was ML basics - coding went well, shared screen with a user friendly IDE, ML one was a whiteboarding exercise where I worked through estimates and ML model choice, I was rusty and did not pass the interview.

I made 2 interviews: screening with a recruiter and a live coding one, with Leetcode like exercises without any AI coding assistant. In the coding one they required a very deep knowledge of Python libraries, some of them not common at all in the day to day of a data scientist

Awful. Red flags for a toxic work culture. I met 3 interviewers, all were exhausted. God knows what they were building. Completely drained and engrossed into their own world, asking theoritical to most difficult questions, kind of to reject you. And even if you pass, there is not a good vibe. They pay a penny and expect you to a coder, Ml researcher and Deep learning Gen AI architect working at OpenAI or Google Deepmind ! Shame on your process. No idea it was coming.
