Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I had applied for an SDE position in Bengaluru, India. The question I was asked in the telephonic round was a HARD one on LeetCode, which I later discovered after Googling it. However, I believe it was at least a medium to hard level question, not exceedingly difficult. I was able to solve and code the optimal solution, but only after first coding a sub-optimal one, for which the feedback was not positive.
