Process

I applied online. The process took 3 months.

First got an online assessment with LC questions, 1 easy-medium and 1 medium-hard. And then there was a simulation section with daily scenarios and what you’ll choose to do.

After that, a 3-hour loop was scheduled:

  • 1st round: behavioral + easy LLD, more of a code maintainability question, if you can write clean code and follow a design and explain as well
  • 2nd round: past experience and behavioral
  • 3rd round: DSA - two-pointer sliding window question with follow-ups

Questions
