Process

I took my interview virtually, and they used Codility.

They make you use Codility's whiteboard feature to sketch out your design, but it feels much more time-consuming compared to using an actual whiteboard. Also, expect to run your code depending on the problem.

There were four one-hour interviews in one day, with an hour break after the second interview. The interviewers were pretty friendly, and the questions were LeetCode medium.

Questions

Each interviewer asked a LeetCode medium question, then a follow-up question.
