Pretty smooth got contact by hr and then got know the basic info, however the interviews was delayed like 3 times so it was kind of annoying yeah and then I got offered at another job so I ended up decline this one
Took about two weeks from start to finish, which felt surprisingly quick. The first round was a technical assessment focusing on coding questions. One of my prompts involved counting islands in a grid, and mid-way, it hit me that I had practiced a similar question on PracHub just days earlier. The following rounds included parsing a nested list and finding a minimum cost path in a weighted grid. All were manageable, and I ended up receiving an offer, but ultimately chose to decline. Overall, a straightforward and pleasant experience.
