Process
I had an initial recruiter screening, followed by two coding interviews and one system design round.
The coding rounds focused on problem solving and core data structures.
The system design interview tested how I think about scalability and overall architecture.
The process was technical, structured, and focused on real engineering skills.
Questions
Most of the questions focused on coding problems involving data structures and algorithms.
