The recruiter reached out on LinkedIn, and the process was quite fast. It was only during the interview that both the interviewer and I realized the team was not a good match for me. Rejected after two rounds and no feedback. Confused.

There was a timed online assessment with around five coding questions. They were similar to what you would find on LeetCode and similar coding sites. It was pretty straightforward and typical of what you might expect.

In the first phase, I was given two coding challenges in addition to multiple-choice questions (MCQs). I believe I got one MCQ wrong, and for one coding challenge, I only passed half of the test cases.
