Process

First, I went through a 30-minute technical interview. It involved a LeetCode Medium problem, slightly simplified, and one behavioral question.

A few days later, I advanced to the final round, which I scheduled for about a month later. The final interview consisted of two 45-60 minute technical interviews. Each technical interview included one coding problem (a LeetCode Medium, on the easier side) and several resume-based questions.
