Process
Two technical rounds of interviews were conducted.
They focused on basic and straightforward data structures questions, with a little bit of trivia, which I did not know.
In my first round, I completed two questions.
In the second round, I was given one question and was working through a second when I ran out of time.
Both interviewers were great—very helpful and supportive during the interviews.
