Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

They give you 2 rounds of interviews. The first is a general behavioral interview and a technical interview. Then comes another round of the technical interview. Finally, the team match process. During the technical interview, it could be a twist of existing LeetCode problems or a completely new problem. Focus on Blind 75 and puzzle-solving skills.

Questions

A non leetcode coding problem. Something completely unseen, but they guide you to eventually figure it out.
