Finally, the HR asked if I was ready to relocate and open for a support role.
Overall Experience:
The interview was moderate in difficulty. The panel was friendly and focused on testing both basic programming and core ML understanding.
The Interivew process is very good, they start with self intro and ask about my projects and college experienecs and any extra curicullar activities. Everything will be based on your self intro
