Process

The interviewers were very courteous and genuinely interested in me. There were five interview rounds scheduled for me, with a 10-minute gap between them. They also provided a person to accompany me for lunch, and it was a wonderful experience.

Questions

This was scheduled for 5 rounds.

Three rounds were on Data Structures and Algorithms, which were of mid-level complexity. Please remember that they are looking at your approach.

Don't jump directly to solutions; build your algorithm.

One interview was on my current project and how I would build it differently.

The last interview was a design question where I had to build a Monopoly game.
