Process

I applied online. The process took 5 days.

OA with some leetcode problems, recruiter information collects, and round 1 technical interview with a senior interviewer. The interviewer was inpatient and mean, a pretty bad interview experience for me.

Questions

Some basic C++ questions and a coding question
