Process

The interview process involved three collaborative rounds.

I reached the final round, which consisted of four back-to-back interviews.

During the final round, I completed a Javascript, HTML, and CSS task. The tasks were enjoyable and progress-based, resembling everyday work rather than typical HackerRank-style questions.
