Process
The first round was a very straightforward discussion about my past experiences with a person from HR. They asked about some of my projects and things on my resume. This went smoothly, and the interviewer was pleasant to talk to.
The second round was a technical interview. The interviewer dove straight into the technical question. The interview consisted of working on a problem in a HackerRank shared terminal while running a Zoom conference. It took an hour and was not very difficult algorithm-wise. The bigger focus seemed to be on design and clean code.
