Process
The whole process took 2 weeks. The recruitment team was responsive and helpful.
The interview process included:
- A 30-minute call with the recruiter.
- A 45-minute technical phone screen (TPS).
- A 5-hour virtual onsite interview.
There were a few technical difficulties during the virtual onsite that affected a couple of rounds. I got less time to finish a coding problem because of this, but overall, it was okay.
Questions
The coding problems were pretty much from LeetCode.
There were multiple behavioral rounds.
