Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took over a week.

Quick HR screening.
First technical interview: a live HackerRank coding session where I could choose between a domain-specific problem or a LeetCode-style algorithms and data-structures exercise.

After passing the first stage, the second technical interview would have been a system design interview. There was a change in the position requirements, so the process was interrupted.

Questions

It was an easy to mid-level LeetCode-style problem.
