Interview
First step of the interview is a phone call with HR.
1st try: Interview scheduled, I'm waiting for the call with the phone in front of me. 5 minutes later, recruiter says her phone call went to voice-mail, and reschedules to the next day -- without even giving me the benefit of doubt and considering that connection issues may happen.
2nd try: 2 hours before, recruiter says they need to reschedule to the following Monday, without further explanation.
3rd try: Again, shortly before, recruiter says they need to reschedule to Wednesday, in a curt email.
4rd try: I simply withdraw my application because I don't want to work for such a place. Recruiter answers with a passive-aggressive email basically alleging family issues (which she had never mentioned before, and regardless, very weird to use an emotional passive-aggressive tone to a candidate) and implying I was being inconsiderate by cancelling. WTF?
Preparing for an interview takes time! I don't want to work for a firm that has so little respect for my time. It also gives me an idea of how interns are treated at Chewy.
The process includes the 5 rounds. The rounds followed by HR, then with ML engineer, then will have 4 more rounds with respective team members. The questions are on basic ML, Python and Sql.

Interview
The recruiter called me out of the blue without an email to ask for my availability. I should have taken this as a red flag. He set up a meeting with hiring manager which was okay (standard questions) but the rest of the interview process was a disaster. Next step after the hiring manager was supposed to be a coding screen (Python/SQL) and after this - virtual onsite. Instead, recruiter scheduled 4 one-hour meetings for Monday with less than 24 hour notice (literally scheduled everything on Sunday and I didn't get a link to join meetings until 1 hour before the first interview). No breaks between interviews. Most questions were repetitive and boiled down to "can you create linear regression models very quickly with constantly changing deadlines and requirements from the stakeholders". I would avoid this company if you can.

Interview
Very awkward experience, HR forget to call me and was not very professional. Once I scheduled time for 1st technical interview, did not hear back anything. But one day, he call me out of the blue and blame me for not putting enough time on the calendar and put a meeting the next day. Got rejected the very next day. Not a great experience, feel actually fortunate to not proceed beyond this point.
