Process

A recruiter reached out via email. They informed me about the interview process: a phone screening, followed by a potential onsite interview if the screening was passed.

Subsequently, the recruiter scheduled a behavioral call and a technical call for the following week. I did not pass the first technical interview.

The recruiter called to inform me that I could reapply the next year. They were very polite, and I will be trying again.

Questions

They asked typical data structure and algorithm questions.

Just study one of those interview books and try your hardest.
