Question 1
How would you handle unbalanced data in a machine learning training process?
I had a HR screening, pre panel interview with 3 people and a final interview with 5 panel. They didn't told to present my work prior to the panel interview which was disappointing
I applied online. I interviewed at Ansys (Waterloo, ON) in Nov 2023
Interview
The recruiter ghosted me after the initial call. She explicitly told me that I would have spoken with the team manager after a few days. I never heard back despite several emails.
In the end, I cannot consider it a positive experience.
