Bias-Variance tradeoffs. Bagging Vs boosting. Modeling details in my project. Basic Statistical Questions. DSA: String compression problem.
1 HR round
4 technical interviews (coding+depth+breadth) of Machine Learning.
1 round to go into depth of my own projects.
1 round on general data science questions + system design (model a pipeline end-to-end for translating one set of multimodal objects to another language)
Two easy Leetcode problems, some ML coding problems and a lot of Leadership Principles talk. Overall average experience. A lot of middle managers not much room to innovate or take risks. Like working for the DMV
