Process
I applied online. The process took around 3 weeks. Interview. I gave an online coding test. After clearing the test, I received an email to schedule a phone interview. This was a coding interview, and they asked general coding problems related to basic algorithms and simple data structures. Nothing beyond standard coding interview problems. As far as I understand, I was supposed to solve them much faster than I did.
