Process

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks.

After the initial recruiter phone screening, I completed two LeetCode medium coding interviews with different engineers. The interviewers were friendly and collaborative, focusing on communication, problem-solving approach, code quality, and handling follow-up optimizations rather than trying to trick candidates. Overall, I found the process fair, well-structured, and representative of day-to-day software engineering skills.
