Applied online and got to a recruiter screening to schedule a 45 min coding interview for data structures and algorithms. This was done in a basic text editor with no syntax highlighting or running the code for debugging.

1st round: Coding Asked about a data structure for efficient caching and how to implement it using a list versus a dictionary. Then discussed a medium-level Dynamic Programming question. Was not able to provide the most optimal solution.

I submitted through an internal referral in late August and received an online assessment from the recruiter after one week. After completing the online coding, I was contacted for a phone interview after another week. The interview lasted about 45 m
