Process
I applied through a staffing agency.
The interview was easy, with two rounds: Frontend and DSA. Frontend covered React UI and file-folder structure. DSA focused on implementing an LRU Cache using any online coding platform like CoderPad.
Questions
The first was a React-based UI question to develop a file folder structure. The second question was on data structures regarding an LRU cache, and you can use any online coder for this.
