Process
Applied online.
Contacted by a recruiter, the process was smooth. They were very patient, even though I had a rigid schedule due to school projects and exams.
The first round involved basic questions, much like a rapid-fire session. I answered most of them correctly. I probably would have gotten all of them correct if I had seen similar questions on Glassdoor beforehand.
The next round was a coding interview with an engineer. The question was quite simple, but I failed to understand it initially. By the time I grasped the problem, I was running out of time. The interviewer was friendly.
