Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took two weeks.
It was smooth and quick, and the interviewer was punctual. The interview question itself was not very difficult. As long as you have practiced enough LeetCode, you should be fine. However, there was also a system design round in the first round which I was not prepared for.
