The interview process involved:

• Recruiter call
• IQ test
• Whiteboard interview on standard LeetCode problems

The interviewer was helpful and reassuring. You are encouraged to talk often while coding. As soon as I read a coding question, I was immediately asked to talk about my solution, which was a ridiculous request in hindsight. I did not proceed to the next phase.

Everyone I talked to during the process was nice and accommodating. HR also informed me about my rejection after the interview, which I appreciate since too many companies out there don't do that.

Given how developers can have bad interviews sometimes despite good qualifications, I wish candidates were given second chances to show the full scale of their capabilities.

One easy and one medium level LeetCode question.
