Software Engineer - Early Career Interview Experience
Process
I applied through an employee referral.
The interview process was quite structured, featuring three rounds of interview in total. The first round is an OA, which consists of two easy-level coding questions. The second round is comprised of two interview sessions, one for behavioral questions and another for an easy-level coding question. So is the third round, although the coding questions are clearly much more challenging.
