Process

The recruiting team came to our campus and held a panel. I received an OA the following day.

Two days later, I scheduled an HR call with the recruiter. Right after the call, the recruiter told me I had passed to the next round, which was the only and final technical interview. It was 75 minutes long.

During the interview, you would be asked to talk about one of your projects. The interviewer would be a senior engineer or someone above them. They would ask follow-up questions about your projects, focusing on why you used a specific tech stack and how you would handle scalability, etc.

You would also be given two LeetCode-like questions to work on. The synchronous coding platform they used was CodePair. You had to share your screen and solve the problems with reasonable hints from the interviewer, passing all the tests.

I finished my first problem early, so I was given a third one. However, the interviewer said it was just for fun and not mandatory at all. Good luck, guys!
