Process
It was a HackerRank coding assessment, consisting of two questions that could be solved in any programming language. You had around 75 minutes to complete it, with the option to run your code and check if it passed the test cases.
Questions
The questions were based on string manipulation, and I implemented the solutions in C++ using string-related concepts.

Pros: Good team and flexible hybrid work culture. In-person office with good wellbeing opportunities, and everyone is willing to teach and help you. Interns are treated like actual employees; there are not many hierarchy/superiority issues there.
Cons: Low market salary at all paygrades, but flexibility and good work-life balance are big factors that improve this.
