Process
Met with a recruiter at a career fair.
Followed by an interview with an engineer, which included behavioral questions and a coding question.
The final stage was a four-round interview, entirely consisting of coding questions. It began with a few easy ones, and the remaining three were medium-to-hard LeetCode-style problems.
Questions
The last one was a chessboard-related question.
