Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I had applied online and waited for about a month to get a reply, followed by a week for feedback.
The first step is the OA. If you pass, you will get a phone interview.
Questions
2 behavior questions and 3 coding challenges. It's simple, but the coding challenges are different as usual. The input is a string, from which you have to generate parameters yourself.
