Process
First, I had a call with the recruiter.
Then, I had two interviews as part of the first round.
I was rejected after that.
It was surprising to be rejected, as my interview had gone well.
Questions
The first interview was very exploratory and required knowledge of calculus concepts.
The second interview consisted of simple LeetCode-style questions. They mostly wanted coding in C++.
