Process

The interview process was fairly simple. HR is pretty quick and responsive to emails. In the beginning, I received a call from HR, which included some technical screening (Linux, networking, etc.). Following this, I was scheduled for a coding interview.

Their coding interview is not overly challenging; it focuses on performance and efficiency (please be thorough with complexity analysis). HR provides you with proper preparation material.

During my coding interview, it appeared as though my interviewer was a bit impatient when I tried talking aloud my approach while programming. At times, I also had difficulty following him. I tried my best to keep up and clarify. Overall, I thought I had done well with the coding interview because one of the questions involved "battleship," which I clarified I was only familiar with, but I still managed to get something working as a solution.

I did hear back from HR; they decided not to proceed further as they had better candidates. I believe I did stutter and feel nervous at one point, which may have made the interviewer impatient. So, my advice is to be confident, clarify, and also pray that you find a patient interviewer.
