Process
The recruiter reached out about two to three weeks after I submitted my application. We had an initial call to go over my background. They then scheduled two follow-up interviews:
- A technical coding round
- A final interview
Questions
The interview included common conversational questions, and LeetCode was a helpful resource for preparing for the technical portion.
