Process
Three 60-minute interviews:
- One full behavioral interview.
- One interview that is half behavioral and half LeetCode.
- One interview that is half LeetCode and half Object-Oriented Design.
Heavy on LPS and similar topics. It is better to read up on and practice answering questions of that type.
Questions
OOP similar to what's found online, untagged LeetCode, all LC Hard equivalent. (Have competitive programming experience - Guardian on LC contests, "hard" is not an exaggeration.)
