Question 1

Resume screen then straight to interviews (2 back to back technicals). Mostly graph problems with dfs and backtracking. First 10-15 minutes brief intro + behavioral then 40 minutes coding. Super nice interviewers
2 rounds of mix behavioral + technical. They spend the first 15 minutes going over previous experiences and asking behavioral questions and the rest is technical. Focus on Graph questions, BFS/DFS, etc
