Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

There were two medium LeetCode questions: a 2D DP problem, which I think is hard, and another string question, all available on LeetCode. There were two interviews in a row and another on another day. I think I'm happy that I didn't get the role at the end because it wasn't as good as I thought.
