Got a link to a platform where you were asked to answer a series of questions. The answers had to be recorded, every answer was supposed to be answered in less than 3 minutes. Beforehand, the advice was given to prepare using the STAR framework.
Important: once started, you can only interrupt the process once, since they don't want you to have unlimited preparation time for the answers. If it gets interrupted (e.g. due to network connectivity or by closing the tab) a second time, the process is stopped and your interview is basically aborted.

First step involved an easy coding assessment, then 2 more rounds of online interviews. Overall process was quite slow until confirmation but talent acquisition team was helpful and responsive in guiding the process.

60 minute technical interview was pretty chill, just asked about projects and basic machine learning concepts. Interviewer was very nice, didn't even take the full 60 minutes. There was also an OA at the beginning, was like an easy to medium leetcode on Hackerrank.
