Process
Initial HR call, then a HackerRank test, followed by a couple more rounds. I only made it up to the HackerRank test, which was 3 hours and consisted of about 4 medium LeetCode problems and 1 easy one.
Questions
Make sure you understand IPv4/IPv6 for HackerRank. I got hung up trying to understand the IPv6 specification from the HackerRank test.
