Process

3-hour interview - first round was behavioral and technical.

For behavioral, they asked about your resume and to give a time when you were challenged and how you overcame it.

Technical part was merged intervals and LRU cache. Grind your leetcode.

2nd round was all technical - I forgot the first question, but the second question was DFS flood fill (in some mine I believe).

Third round was bar raiser - all behavioral. Get your stories aligned and don’t mention any metrics unless you can explain how you got your metrics for the results.
