First interviewer tested me on basic probability (Bayes rule etc), binary classification (saw if I knew precision/recall under a heavily unbalanced prior), and signal processing (sampling, aliasing). The coding part was to generate all ordered substrings of a given string. The 2nd interview was a basic test on probability followed by a coding problem (implement linked list, append operation, do in place reversal of list using a single walk through the list). Problems on the final interview were coding problems and basic number theory (implement binary search, implement FIR convolution, estimate frequency of a sine wave signal based on zero crossings, implement divisibility tests for various primes).

I was offered a promo code for LinkTree Pro instead of interview feedback after interviewing for 5 rounds of interviews. The interviewers are nice, but the interview processes has a lot of problems i.e. - The Data Engineering round interview has very similar pandas based question as the coding test. I was provided Python script instead of Notebook, which makes the interview hard to iterate with data. (I was provided notebook for a previous DS round). Also no autocompletion/type hint is available. - The coding test have questions that has wrong description, when I reported that to Recruiter again I do not receive any feedback. - The ML system design round was in fact, more like a system design round with little focus on the ML part. - HR repeatedly schedule interviews for wrong time (i.e. midnight) because they have interviewers in UK, Australia and US and I was often provided with different information from different Recruiter. - LinkTree Pro? Really?
