Process
The first round was a coding challenge with two algorithm questions and one debugging question. The questions were very interesting and were evaluated based on CPU speed.
This was followed by a phone interview, which was a behavioral interview.
Then, I was given a code snippet and had to implement certain functions and complete a set of tasks.
The next interview was a video interview where I had to explain my coding assignment and was asked to add/modify a few functions.
