Question 1
How do you manage working from a remote environment?
HR round followed by a hiring manager round followed by a 1 hour comprehensive technical interview based on a real world problem. The hiring manager round was a deep dive into past experiences and projects as well as a few technical follow up questions. Overall, a great experience and everyone was super nice and helpful

Question 1
What was a component of a project you developed that you were most proud of and why?
Interviewed for an SWE role. The recruiter had a bad attitude and for some reason took it out on me which ended up in me not reaching the second stage.
