Process

I applied through a recruiter.

The interview process included five interviews covering coding (LeetCode medium–level tasks), system design, and behavioral questions. I received clear feedback throughout the process and always knew where I stood and what the next steps would be. Even though the process was fairly long, the hiring managers did a great job keeping it transparent and minimizing stress.
