Process
The review process consisted of two steps:
- HR interview: This was basic and included a single logic exercise.
- On-site interviews: Four interviews were conducted on-site. These were more challenging and included algorithm, design, cloud, and a manager interview. I found them quite hard; I was exhausted by the time I reached the fourth interview.
