Process
Below was the interview process. It was a smooth experience. HR reached out to me with an online assessment of 90 minutes and 2 questions. The 1st question was a two-pointer LeetCode medium, and the 2nd was a string with a nested structure. The process included an OA, 1 DSA, 1 LLD, and 1 HLD.
Questions
There was a string-based question with a nested structure to be solved with recursion.
