      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      The interview process started with a short 30-minute introductory interview, where we mainly discussed my previous experience, background, and motivation for the role. After that, I had three interviews in one day. One interview focused more on my previous projects and experience, while the other two were more technical and focused on machine learning theory, practical ML problem-solving, and model selection. The interviewers were very nice, professional, and the atmosphere was comfortable throughout the process.

There were also behavioral questions and discussion of how I approach failure analysis, data quality issues, and the practical impact of technical solutions.
