Process

The recruitment process was quite inefficient, taking several months of back-and-forth to schedule the interview.

Fortunately, they provided accommodation for three nights in a nice hotel prior to the interview to mitigate jet lag, which was a pleasant perk.

The onsite portion consisted of five technical interviews. Most of these focused on straightforward algorithm questions, but one interview was hardware-related. I did not perform well on this part, and it would have been beneficial to know this would be tested for a Software Engineer role.

Questions

Sorry, I can't give interview questions. I've signed an NDA that requires this information to remain confidential.
