Process
I applied through college or university. The process took two months.
The interview process consisted of an initial online assessment focusing on Dynamic Programming and Graph-based problems. Candidates who cleared this round proceeded to two technical interview rounds, which involved coding questions and discussions on data structures and algorithms.
