Process
I had two interviews.
The first was a technical phone screening, after which the second interview was set up.
I was informed that I'd have a choice between a few different languages, so I brushed up on Python and LeetCode and felt comfortable enough to ace the technical interview.
Unfortunately, the interviewer in my second round (who was very, very nice) decided to interview me on the specifics and inner workings of another language with no DS&A aspect. I was definitely not ready for this and was able to solve the problems, but not quickly enough.
In hindsight, I should have asked for much more clarification about the specifics of the interview process after securing my second interview.
