I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DataRobot (Washington, DC) in Nov 2021
Interview
Approximately 5 technical (virtual) interviews and 1 behavioral. The technical interviews were highly repetitive in asking about the same supervised machine learning algorithms, pros/cons, and troubleshooting steps. Felt like there was no continuity between interviewers. Technical interviewers were adequate (but not excellent) technical communicators, but they were looking for very specific answers. Once I hit some arbitrary threshold of answering a question correctly, they'd interrupt and fire off the next question.

Interview
5 rounds some technical questions mostly questions about prior experience and asked to deliver a presentation about previously delivered project
No coding take home assignment, no leetcode, no real hard DS grilling questions more trying to gauge your ability to explain technical concepts both to technical and non technical audience members

Question 1
Could you present to us something you've previously worked on
The process included several rounds of talking with first a recruiter, then members of the team I was joining. It culminated with a presentation interview to two current employees posing as customers
