Made it to second round of interviews that consisted of 3 back to back interviews. One was technical, another was a case study, and last was team challenge. The technical challenge was pretty difficult. The case study asked me to come up with a mobile app solution for one of the company's problem. The team challenge was okay as long as you step up as a leader and not let just one person do the talking.
