How it went
The candidate applied directly and was initially given a HackerRank assessment. Following this, a technical phone screen and a combined system design and debugging interview were conducted. The interview process emphasized practical problem-solving over pure algorithmic challenges, with later stages becoming more focused on AI-specific concepts. The candidate was ultimately rejected after the technical rounds.
