Process

Started with an Online Assessment, followed by two Round-1 interviews: one technical and one behavioral.

The technical interview included a coding problem based on graphs, where the task was to find a target in a matrix with walls or blocked cells.

The difficulty level was moderate and mainly tested problem-solving and approach.

Overall, the process was smooth and a good experience, even though I did not move forward after the interviews.
