Process
I applied online. The process took 3 months.
The interview consisted of a single round for interns. It started with around 15–20 minutes of behavioral questions, followed by one LeetCode-style coding question. The behavioral portion was fairly standard and focused on past experiences and problem-solving approaches. After that, we moved on to the coding question. I’m not entirely sure how the coding questions are selected during the interview, but in my case, I was given a LeetCode Hard problem.
