Process
After applying, a recruiter reached out. Scheduling was fast and responsive.
Most interviewers were friendly. The questions weren't too difficult, but they ranged from LeetCode medium to hard.
There was no consistency in the type of questions asked. Some were real-world case implementations, while others were LeetCode problems.
They might ask between one and three questions in a single round.
