Process
I went through an online assessment, followed by two technical interviews and one behavioral interview.
The process was structured yet friendly.
The technical parts focused on coding problems (data structures and algorithms), while the behavioral round covered teamwork, challenges, and communication.
Overall, very thorough and professional.
Questions
They asked me to design an algorithm to detect cycles in a directed graph.
