Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took one week.

It was three rounds of interviews: two rounds of DSA and one round of system design. In each round, they had behavioral and DSA questions. They asked one easy question and then twisted the question to increase the difficulty level. The system design was more of a straightforward question.
