Process
A phone interview was followed by an onsite interview.
The two phone interviews involved medium LeetCode problems.
The onsite had five rounds:
- One behavioral round
- Four technical rounds
The first two interviewers had their attitudes in check.
The other two interviewers had a cynical and cocky attitude that made me feel like walking out of the interview.
Just another huge organization that has lost its interviewer bar.
I felt bad for the poor fellows who have to show up to this team to work every day.
