Smooth process. Good questions. I was not able to crack the interview, but the process was smooth. Prepare DSA well and do SQL questions. Do design pattern questions. Trees, graphs, etc., are all important.
Coding Interview In the interview, I was asked one question, but several follow-ups. Tetris * Q1: Tell if a screenshot of Tetris is valid or not. * Q2: Write a program to run the Tetris game.
5 Steps: Virtual Onsite. 4 tech + 1 behavioral. Each interview is 45 minutes, with a lunch break. Tech interviewers ask random questions with random difficulty. Behavioral asks you mostly about how you would work in various cases.
