Process
I was reached out by a recruiter on LinkedIn. I skipped the OA due to my qualifications. The first interview was a technical phone call. The problem was similar to a typical LeetCode question, but wasn't easy. After the first interview, I proceeded to the final round. This was a 1.5-hour implementation project, where I discussed my solution with a Software Engineer from the company. The experience was really good.
After passing the final round, I spoke with Varun, the CEO. He was a very nice guy and seemed genuinely interested in learning more about me. Overall, the experience was excellent.
Questions
An ad-hoc problem arose in the technical phone call.
