Process
Very fast and professional. The interview I went through includes 3 rounds:
- OA
- HR chat
- Final The OA contains 2 parts of a big question, medium LeetCode level. The final round is 3 hours long, including 1 hour and 30 minutes of technical and 1 hour and 30 minutes of manager talk. The technical half includes 3 questions, each developing from the preceding one.
