I applied online. The process took 1 week.
Applied via LinkedIn and the recruiter reached out to me pretty fast. She was very helpful during the explaining process of the rounds. The first round was live coding; they suggest you prepare with the medium problems in LeetCode, so I did exactly that.
But in the interview, the question was very simple. I got a little nervous and struggled a bit during the initial implementation, but I finished it, optimized it as much as it could have been, and passed the test cases.
However, during the theory questions, I was clueless—how many people know how TLS actually works underneath the layers? Anyway, I got the feedback that I lack networking security depth and I copy-pasted something suspicious during live coding. I have no idea what that means; they should ask to share the screen instead of making assumptions.
Theory questions about DNS, TLS, HTTPS, Reverse Proxy, everything related security.
A DS algo live coding array question of finding last n digit's average from a stream.
