Process
I applied online. The process took 2 months.
There are three stages:
- technical
- technical/behavioural
- another technical
The first two are automated slop - DSA problems, rank behavioural scenarios etc., one video response. After doing them, you are only given a numerical score, no guidance on what to improve etc. The hiring team then took almost two months to send me a rejection letter. Again without any details, no areas of improvement, nothing. Just 'not what we need right now'. I consider this a waste of time, as I didn't learn anything from this process.
Questions
DSA problems, backend focus on API endpoints design.
Another one involving a sliding window and hashing.
