Process

The hiring process started with an online assessment that focused on problem-solving and coding skills. After passing the assessment, I was invited to a series of three back-to-back technical interviews. Each interview was primarily centered around data structures and algorithms, with questions similar in style and difficulty to LeetCode problems. Interviewers also evaluated the problem-solving approach, code quality, and the ability to explain thought processes clearly while coding. Overall, the process was structured, technical, and heavily focused on algorithmic problem solving and communication skills.
