Round: Technical Interview

So we started discussed ML a great deal (as it turned out later, the guy worked on ML). It started from basic gradient descent, stochasticgradient descent, K means clustering, recommender systems. Our discussion on recommender systems continued to types and uses of different systems in different contexts e.g. how is a movie recommender different to at of Amazon (this was because I told him that i was doing a course on recommender systems). Between all this we also discussed some puzzles and some physics(as it was one of my interests)

8 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: A normal aptitude test with quant, LR and English. Those who prepared for CAT would find it extremely simple.
Tips: Practice questions from Indiabix. If you have already prepared for CAT, no additional preparation required.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 45
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: They are looking for clarity in thinking and presentation of arguments. Those who made just one or two solid logical points were selected over those who spoke random stuff for half the time.
Tips: Think for some time and make a logical argument. Do not say something just for the sake of it. Closing arguments would give you brownie points.
Duration: 25 minutes
Round: Problem Statement
Experience: Shortlisted candidates were given 45 minutes to solve the case. We were asked to write down our approach on a sheet that was provided. After allotted time we were asked to submit this sheet along with the question paper. The problem statement did not have any numerical data and thus the solution was theoretical. We were free to make our own assumptions.
Tips: Practice sufficient case study problems from any reliable book(case in point, case interviews cracked). Apparently, the problem that I received was directly picked up from Case in point.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Panel of 2.
I was asked to explain in detail how I approached the given case. They were clearly more interested in my thinking process than my answer as there is no 'correct' answer for such case studies. The interviewers were pretty friendly and nudges you in the right direction when you make minor errors.
The latter part involved few HR questions like
What are your interests?
How will your friends describe you, in one word?
Have you ever been involved in an act of indiscipline?
Give an instance when you failed?
Tips: It is important to understand that there is no single right answer for case studies. What matters is how you think through the problem and communicate it to the panel. It is extremely important to tell the panel about the assumptions you have made and justify them. If they are trying to nudge you in a different direction, get the cue and change your approach instead of arguing with them(Remember, no right answer).
Skills: Communication, Confidence, Logical And Structured Thinking
