October 3, 2025
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

There were 3 rounds in total:

  1. Technical
  2. LLD + Behavioral
  3. Behavioral

The technical round is straightforward and can be completed with good LeetCode preparation. I found the behavioral portion to be more challenging than anticipated. I recommend focusing more on the behavioral aspects and considering the LLD part of the interview as important as coding.

Questions

A question from strings and one from graphs, I could solve them pretty easily.
