The process started with a conversation with HR, who was very pleasant , I then had a discussion with the group manager, which felt a bit scattered at times but still gave a general sense of the role and expectations. After that, I was given an extensive take home assignment that included Python, SQL, working with LLM related concepts, and a presentation component It required quite a broad range of skills and a significant time investment ( took me like 5 hours ) I felt very confident in the work I submitted The response time was relatively quick, less than a week and the communication remained positive and respectful throughout Following that HR suggested scheduling a feedback session with the manager, personally this felt a bit unusual In my view feedback at this stage could typically be communicated through HR, and I’m not sure there is strong value in a dedicated call that doesn’t lead to a positive outcome especially for a more senior candidate Overall, the process felt mature and respectful, and HR was genuinely great to work with
