Process

I applied online and heard back within a couple of weeks. The recruiter was friendly and kept me informed throughout. There was an initial screening call followed by a couple of technical rounds. The interviewers were professional and gave me space to think through problems out loud. The behavioural questions were pretty standard, with nothing unexpected. Overall, it was a positive experience. It felt like they genuinely wanted to see you succeed rather than trip you up. I would recommend preparing your data structures and being ready to talk through your reasoning clearly.
