Process
The first round was held by a third party, Karat. The interviewer asked an implementation-heavy question, and I was rejected even after completing it. He mentioned that two questions needed to be completed, but the first question was so implementation-heavy that it took the entire time.
Questions
The question was based on course scheduling.
