I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EXL Service (Bengaluru) in Oct 2021
Interview
My first round of Interview was smooth where the panel discussed about my work and asked questions related to them.
However the second round was a disaster. The panel asked me a case study and how I would approach it from ML perspective. I gave certain answers which did not satisfy him which is understandable but he was not interesed to listen to my explanation. It is not a factual question, its a use case and there is no wrong or right answers. Its the approach that matters and if you stop people from explaining approaches for a vastly large use case then it would be catastrophic.

It was a virtual interview, but updates on my application stopped. The interviewer seemed uninterested very much, leaving me uncertain about progress and disappointed with the lack of communication and engagement.
