The interview was a three-stage process.

The first interview was with a recruiter, who basically asked me about my background and described the work culture. The second interview was with the hiring manager, who asked me how I would approach some problems. There was no LeetCode in that interview, just critical thinking.

The third interview was with, I guess, a senior engineer who has been part of the company for several decades. It was more technical, and the questions were oriented to c++ programming, not in the form of LeetCode but more about classes, objects, inheritance, and implementations. In the end, he told me that although I performed well, I wasn't a good fit for the company because they were looking for someone with more experience than I had. It wasn't the response I wanted, but I appreciated the honesty.
