I applied online. The process took six months.

The interview process consisted of five rounds:

• The first round was a System Design interview where I was asked to design a TypeAhead (autocomplete) system. The discussion focused on scalability, data structures, ranking of suggestions, and handling large-scale traffic.
• There were two DSA rounds covering standard LeetCode-style problems. The questions were based on Linked Lists, Breadth-First Search (BFS), and the Celebrity Problem. The interviewers mainly evaluated problem-solving skills, approach, optimisation, and code quality.
• The next round focused on past experience, where I walked through my resume, discussed some of the projects I had worked on, and explained the most challenging technical problems I had encountered and how I solved them.
• The final round was with the Hiring Manager. It was a conversational discussion covering my background, career aspirations, team fit, and motivation for exploring the opportunity.

Overall, the process was straightforward and focused on both technical competence and prior experience.

The interview process includes the following rounds:- System Design: TypeAhead system design.- DSA (2 rounds): Normal LeetCode questions on LinkedIn list, BFS, and the Celebrity problem.- Past experience round: An explanation of the resume, interesting projects, and what I found challenging.- Hiring manager round: A normal HR manager round.
