Process
The interview process consists of four rounds:
- Two rounds of behavioral questions (BQ).
- Two rounds of data structure and algorithm questions.
Each round will have one interviewer and last 45 minutes.
Therefore, the questions are not considered difficult, but it is important to identify potential edge cases.
