Process

Applied online.

Resume shortlisted.

Received a call from a recruiter for a screening round. You were asked about your projects and career profile.

Screening cleared, and you were asked to provide your interview availability schedule.

Gave a few dates and times.

All of this process was conducted via email only.

An invite for the interview was sent, but the interviewer did not join. I emailed them about this and was told it would be rescheduled.

Rescheduled the first technical round. It focused on my profile and experience, followed by technical questions.

Round 2 focused more on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA).

During the interview, I was given a live DSA coding problem. It was a bit complicated to understand, and when I questioned the interviewer, they weren't able to provide a proper explanation. I tried to solve it but was unsuccessful. The interviewer gave hints later on, but I still failed to solve it.
