Process
I completed the online assessment and performed well.
I encountered four questions, which were either one easy and three medium, or two easy and two medium. I passed all test cases but did not receive an interview. I'm unsure of the reason, but it was likely due to a resume screen.
Questions
OA had LeetCode easy and medium problems.
