Recruiter Call

Introductory conversation to understand your background and walk you through the interview process.

First Round – LeetCode Coding Challenge

One algorithmic problem (e.g., Coin Change) to assess your problem-solving and coding skills.

Second Round – 4 Hours Total (Split into Two Interviews)

First Interview (90 minutes – UI Implementation + Coding)

• You'll be given a GitHub repository ahead of time.
• Start by demonstrating Craft Presentation.
• Then, implement 2–3 user stories (e.g., add a progress bar, create a details page, implement search functionality).
• Some simple follow-up questions may be asked around your code and approach.

Second Interview (1 hour – System Design + Experience Discussion)

• Includes a real-world system design exercise.
• Also covers questions about your past work experience, architectural decisions, and technical trade-offs.

Third Interview – AI Concepts (30 minutes)

Focuses on general AI concepts. Very basic and high-level—this was the easiest round.

Fourth Interview – Managerial/Behavioral Round (30 minutes)

Conducted by the hiring manager. Focuses on behavioral and situational questions to evaluate communication, leadership, decision-making, and team fit. Most important round – despite doing well in all other interviews, I was rejected due to this one. Strong preparation here is critical.
