It was only one round, a 45-minute interview after one OA assessment. You have to clear it by answering two coding questions in any language you are comfortable with. I did mine in Java. The OA has a 1-hour timeline, then based on the results, you wi
The process consisted of three one-on-one online interviews. It was 50% behavioral and 50% technical. Behavioral questions revolved around leadership principles. My technical questions were mostly focused on constructing and navigating graphs and
The interview process was simple and straightforward, involving two rounds of coding. The coding rounds were pretty simple, similar to LeetCode problems. There was one extra round prior to the interview: a behavioral test. This behavioral assessme
