Process
The interview consisted of an OA on HackerRank. There were 3 coding challenges, specifically supposed to be taken within the one-hour deadline. Nothing was extremely difficult, but they used up all the time. The online challenge also consisted of two easy algorithm questions and one behavioral question. Overall, it was an okay experience.
