Process
The interview process began with a Codility round, followed by an HR call. Next, there was an assignment discussion with an engineer, and finally, a behavioral round with the engineering manager.
It's important to research the company thoroughly beforehand. The engineer, manager, and HR representative were all very helpful. The process felt more like a conversation to understand skills and abilities rather than a typical one-on-one interview.
