Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Applied online and received a coding test. Subsequently, I got a call for a telephonic interview.

Two 45-minute interviews were scheduled. Following these, another telephonic interview was scheduled because they expressed uncertainty. Therefore, one more interview was arranged.

The first two interviews went well. The third interview could have been better if I had stuck to the basics.

Suggestion: Even if you know an optimal solution, stick to the basics and ensure you code completely. Completeness of the code is really important. Thank you.
