Process
The process involves a phone screening followed by an onsite interview.
The onsite interview consists of four 45-minute rounds, with a 15-minute break.
Problems presented are not common and are difficult to guess. However, knowing your algorithms and mastering your programming languages would be beneficial.
This process is quite energy-consuming, so be prepared with a decent breakfast. Bringing some chocolates would also be a good idea.
