Process

The initial screening was a 30-minute call with a recruiter. We discussed my resume, covered behavioral questions, and evaluated cultural fit.

Then, the technical phone screen was a 60-minute call. It involved two programming problems, which were DSA-based, similar to LeetCode medium problems.
