The recruiter reached out to schedule an initial meeting with the hiring manager to explain the role and what they were looking for in a candidate.

  • The first round was one hour.
    • It included one easy LeetCode question, followed by basic Java questions.
  • The second round was two hours.
    • The first part featured one medium coding question, which was more realistic than a typical LeetCode problem.
    • The second part consisted of Java and behavioral questions.

The next day, the recruiter called to ask about salary expectations, confirmed the interviews went well, and stated that an official offer would be extended after the weekend.
