Process
First, I applied and submitted my resume online.
About two weeks after the submission deadline, I was notified that I was qualified for the next round. I had about one week to prepare for a programming test and a video interview.
There were three interview questions given. The programming test focused mainly on time complexity, upper, and lower limit questions.
It was said that if you passed this exam, there were two more interviews waiting for you. However, I didn't pass the exam.
Questions
The video interview questions are provided after your resume is qualified, so you have enough time to prepare your answers. This interview is quite easy.
