Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone interview: Typical easy-level LeetCode question. Really nice interviewer
Onsite interview: Three easy-level LeetCode questions, one medium-difficult graph theory question.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
Application

Interview
