Process
The process started with a recruiter call covering my background, experience with relevant tech, and expectations.
Next was a technical interview focused on algorithms and data structures. I wasn’t able to solve the problem in time, so I stopped at this stage.
Both the recruiter and the interviewer were friendly, professional, and supportive throughout.
