Process

After completing the online assessment (OA), I was scheduled for the interview loop about a month in advance.

Round 1: Data Structures & Algorithms — The question was similar to Course Schedule on LeetCode.

Round 2: System Design / Implementation — I implemented LRU Cache.

Round 3: Behavioral — Standard questions about past projects, teamwork, conflict resolution, and motivation.
