Applied through BigCode 2026, got an interview call, first round HR (15mins), just to get idea of the holistic profile. second round Technical (DSA) (45mins), third round same as second round
Did not get an invite for the 2nd interview. I was qualified for the role, but was ghosted for about 6 months before being rejected. But, the application process was nice, and gave me hope!
