Process
Gave an automatic HackerRank test, mostly medium LeetCode problems. Did not proceed past the HackerRank.
The HackerRank was proctored, with the webcam and microphone required to be on during the test. If you have experience taking other HackerRanks, it should be very similar.
Questions
LeetCode style mediums. Study Blind 75 or NeetCode 150; you should be fine.
