Process
The interview process consisted of two technical rounds, followed by a managerial round and a brief HR discussion.
The technical rounds each lasted between 1.25 and 1.5 hours.
Round 1 was a no-CV round, emphasizing real-time problems and discussions on various approaches.
Round 2 was a CV-based round, focusing on data structures and algorithms. These two areas were potentially stressed because I had mentioned them on my resume.
