Question 1
LC medium, nothing difficult that cannot be solved in 45 minutes
Put me into 5 rounds of interviews to be rejected. It was mixture of easy and medium difficulty questions. Timing for interviews was bad where some of it was mid night or somewhere between mid night and morning.
Recruiter call, HM interview, onsite
- got contacted by recruiter only to get ghosted after he told me there were openings for multiple teams. doesn't look like they have their openings for engineering teams anymore anyway but i never got a proper update
Overall the interview process was professional.
Team manager was frank and honest about the workload.
Had a take home assignment.
Interviewers take good attention in analysing the skillsets I have.
