Process

The interview process began with an online assessment (OA), followed by a meeting with the recruiter.

Next was the technical interview, then an on-site interview that included system design and behavioral questions.

The OA was difficult but doable. The technical interview involved a somewhat easier question, though it did not provide given inputs and outputs.
