Process

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks.

Received an OA consisting of 1 leetcode style question, 1 full stack debugging question where an AI assistant was provided. Followed by that, there was a behavioral and work style related section. The whole assessment took around 3 hrs. After 2 weeks, I received the interview call.

I had 4 interview rounds (The Loop):

  • The first round was behavioral + Leetcode
  • The second was complete behavioral and leadership principles
  • 3rd and 4th were both behavioral and leetcode questions

All leetcode questions were medium level. I was asked questions from Stacks and Trees.

Questions

I was asked how I manage work conflicts and responsibilities.
