The initial interview, facilitated by the HR department, served as a screening process. The HR representative provided a warm introduction to the company, offering insights into its culture and values. Following this introduction, we delved into a discussion about my professional background, where I had the chance to elaborate on my previous work experiences. Subsequently, I progressed to the first technical interview, where I engaged with both an experienced Machine Learning (ML) specialist and a managerial figure. The ML expert initiated an in-depth conversation about various ML concepts and methodologies, allowing me to showcase my expertise in the field. Following this discussion, the manager presented a real-world scenario and requested that I outline an approach and provide an estimation for implementing a new feature—a task that challenged my problem-solving abilities and strategic thinking. Additionally, the ML specialist revisited the conversation, presenting project-related issues and soliciting my insights on potential solutions. The final interview stage involved direct interaction with clients, during which I was presented with specific challenges they were encountering. This segment provided an opportunity for me to demonstrate my ability to address real-world problems and communicate effectively with stakeholders. Overall, the interview process at MEV was rigorous yet rewarding. Each phase provided a unique opportunity to showcase my skills and expertise, while also gaining valuable insights into the company's operations and the challenges it faces.

As I have signed the NDA, I can only tell non-specific things. At first, I was contacted by an HR for a screening. I was referred by an employee. After that I had another HR meeting, where I was introduced to the specificity of the project they are hiring. After that I had a one-hour technical interview with senior ML engineer, delivery manager (which conducted an interview) as well couple of other non-technical members of the company. Final interview was done with the engineer from their client, after which I got the offer.
