I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Element (New York, NY) in Sep 2020
Interview
Was approached by an external recruiter. The entire process took around 8 or 9 phone calls.
Had an interview round with each of the 5 research engineers who asked coding, ML theory questions or general past experience.
There was a talk session where I presented my past research work.
A couple of other behavioral rounds with the HR and CEO.
Apart from that, there were multiple phone calls with the CTO, including a screening round.
