Process

The first round, a 30-minute online interview, was held on Codility. I experienced technical difficulties with the audio, so I was not able to complete my interview successfully within the scheduled slot. The interviewer was very understanding regarding the situation and also reached out to the recruiter to reschedule the interview for later that day.

The rescheduled interview went well technically. The interviewer was very easy to talk to. I was asked a LeetCode medium question. The interviewer guided me through the solution and provided genuine feedback.

To prepare, I would recommend practicing basic behavioral questions and doing mock interviews, along with LeetCode questions.
