Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Easy. Four rounds.
- Behavioral.
- Coding.
- A “technical business” discussion.
- A system design round based on resume and experience.
Interviewers were nice and fair. The recruiter was very pushy and didn’t give me time to decide on the offer. That was the only negative part of the experience.
Questions
Design a banking system. Two LeetCode mediums, pretty straightforward.
