I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AltaML (Calgary, AB) in Jul 2022
Interview
Interview consisted of an online coding assessment using Python and a behavioral interview with a team lead and HR manager involving different personal scenarios and example situations. Mostly questions about previous experiences.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time where a colleague was not pulling their weight. What did you do?
The interview was pretty quick, about 45 minutes, and included all tech and behavior questions, as well as system design. There is no coding part of the interview; the questions are just based on the recent projects and some fundamental machine learning related-quetsions.

Interview
Easygoing, go over your experiences and try to get to know your skillset. Online OA is difficult, which is why the in person interview is more lax. If you know traditional ML algorithms, and general problem solving, you will be good.

Interview
The technical assessment consisted of two parts - multiple choice questions and coding. The coding challenge again had 2 parts, one based on data preprocessing and other on basic ML modelling. The company provided ample time for this stage. Overall, the interview rounds were fair.
