1. Stage one was a CoderPad interview with the engineers. It started with some random behavioral questions, then followed by 2 LeetCode questions. The first one was very basic, just to get you used to the platform. The second was a medium LeetCode, which was not too difficult either.

2. The second and third interviews were scheduled on the same day. The first was also 2 LeetCode questions with the team. I think they focused more on communication at this point. I wasn't quite used to this style of interviewing, and I don't think I did a good job. There was 1 basic/medium (Linked List) and another medium (Graph).

3. I was genuinely confused by the third round. I was told that this round was about software engineering, but I was asked to solve LeetCode-like questions as well. In hindsight, I think the focus might not have been on giving the most optimum solution in a LeetCode sense, but on coming up with the class/method/parameters ourselves to solve the given problem. Giving pseudocode was sufficient at this stage.

4. I was given a rejection the day after.
