The interviewer asked typical dsa questions followed by system design. He was kind and explained the entire process. It was for one hour and the questions were medium level. System design was focused on the fundamentals
Mostly behavioral style questions across all rounds, with some technical deep dive into resume. Group style round with hiring managers and team all at once in the final round. Wasn't super difficult.
Fair. Not so difficult, everyday questions. The people were friendly. I think it would be a good place to work. I can't compare it with other interviews since this is the first one I got
