The interview was similar to what is seen for most Data Science roles. There were 5 rounds in total. One test, 3 technical rounds and one non-technical discussion with their Data Science head who is based out of US.
In each technical round they ask about your projects and then general questions around ML/stats/python.
I cleared 4 rounds and then had the last round which was just around my interests and how I can contribute to the team. I felt it went pretty well. However, I just got a rejection mail post that. I requested HR to provide a feedback on what was the issue, however didn't get any response.
This is so sick as after investing so much time and energy in an interview process you expect the organization to have decency in telling you what was missing. I hope they start showing a little more appreciation for the time and effort a candidate has put in their process by letting them know a proper feedback.

Applied online and received email from HR co-ord for initial screening, this was rescheduled couple of times, then finally had long conversation over phone about company and my profile. Then i had phone screening with hiring manager and director later invited to on site for in person interview, interview with five people they changed schedule multiple times in same day. After all this process they dint give any feedback/result. Sheer waste of time.
