Process
I got four rounds of interviews:
- Online code challenge
- Phone interview with HR
- Onsite interview
- Take-home project
I failed to pass the rest. I'm not so sure how many rounds there were in total.
Questions
The online code challenge was an easy LeetCode problem about string sorting. The onsite interview was about algorithms, which you solved on a whiteboard. It was quite challenging.
