Process

The process started with an OA (Online Assessment) which included two coding questions on HackerRank and a work style assessment. After passing, I received an interview availability form. It took three weeks to get scheduled, and I was notified of the interview two days prior.

The interview consisted of two behavioral questions:

  1. A situation where you were working on a project and faced difficulties, and how you overcame them. I answered well in STAR format with a few follow-up questions.
  2. A situation where you didn't have enough data to make a decision and went above and beyond to solve it.

There was also one coding question, a LeetCode medium problem related to the concept of LRU cache. A similar question was framed, which I coded successfully.

However, after two days, I received a rejection, and I'm not sure why, even though the interviewer gave positive feedback at the end.

  1. Describe a situation while you were working on a project where you faced difficulties and how you overcame them.
