Process
The interview was one hour long, divided into a 10-minute introduction and discussion of past interview experience, followed by a 50-minute coding round.
If you are not confident after the first interview, they provide a redo interview.
In my first interview, it took some time to understand the problem, but I was eventually able to solve it. I decided to take the redo interview. In this second attempt, I solved the problem 10 minutes before the time was up. I was then given another difficult problem, which I couldn't complete due to the time constraint.
I was not selected, and they did not provide feedback. I believe they had very high expectations. I had a really bad experience.
Before giving the interview, please ask about the number of questions to solve and their expectations so that you can manage your time accordingly.
