Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

Good question. I would like to understand this too, I think it mostly comes from working with SMEs and being a part of those architectural discussions. You can also review system design interview guides and those should help. There is also a book, it’s titled Designing Data Intensive Applications if I’m not mistaken.
Honestly, try just building something. Say it’s a simple linear regression model. Once you have a POC, start building out how it’ll work in the cloud. Pick a cloud service and start going through the process. If it’s AWS, for example, how will training data get in? Go down that rabbit hole, and maybe you decide a Lambda function querying the data N times a year configured with EventBridge is good enough. Now how do you train the model? How do you serve it? Going through all of these steps organically will enlighten you how difficult all of this is to make happen in the real world and will upskill you in cloud engineering and solution architecture design
