Interview
I got interviewed by a manager and a developer. The interview was a strange and frankly unpleasant experience. Both interviewers were unresponsive, emotionless and cold, strongly giving the impression that they really didn't want to be here. I faced my fair share of rejections in my internship search, but this complete lack of basic soft skills and enthusiasm made this the only company where I was actually glad to have gotten rejected.
A week before I was selected for an interview, I was contacted and sent a link to a 3 hour long test. The first component of the test contained multiple choice and true/false questions related to python's machine learning libraries (pandas, numpy, matplotlib, scikit).
The second component involved building a simple decision tree model in python using the data provided.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Using the given data, build a decision tree model in Python.
It was only 1 interview with 3 people. It included behavioural questions, and technical questions. The interviewers were really friendly and welcoming. The questions level was very reasonable and they care more about how you analyze any problems and provide some initial sensible solutions.

Question 1
A question about a ML project you worked on before, the problem and your approach to solve it
Was pretty easy and interviewers were friendly, the whole process took around 4 weeks with 1 technical problem to solve in your own time while being monitored by an AI software(not in person) and 1 video call interview for about an hour.

Interview
Applied online, the first stage was an online assessment with coding and MC questions related to ML. Next was a group interview via Google Meets, mostly asked about past experiences and projects.
