Process
After getting shortlisted, there was an online assessment. This consisted of two HackerRank easy to medium level DSA problems, and also included many MCQ-type questions based on leadership principles.
After clearing the first round, the second round was a technical interview. In this round, I was asked to solve a medium DSA array-based problem (Peak Element, LeetCode 162). After that, due to network disconnection, I could not continue the round. Later, after 2-3 weeks, I received a rejection email.
