EvenUp New Grad Software Engineer Interview Experience — Blunt Recruiter Feedback, Then a Canditech OA

I applied 8 months ago, and now I've gone from being a new grad to being an old veteran before I finally got an interview. My first round was a phone call, and I answered pretty confused. The recruiter told me straight up that I answered very poorly, but I said I don't really care about WLB, blah blah, and he said that's exactly the signal they're looking for, so he moved me on to the OA. (Which honestly tells you this company has extremely high turnover and bad WLB, haha.) The recruiter asked a few standard questions: why I want to switch jobs, to describe a failure, how I handle pressure, and to explain an ML concept in plain terms.

You can barely find any interview experience for this company online. For the next round I got an OA from Canditech (an AI-powered OA platform), and I have no idea what format the OA will take — it seems like there might even be a video component? If anyone has gone through their interview process or OA format, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.
