Interview questions [1]
Question 1
asked me how i had a problem with an employer and solved it
Telling about myself and asking questions to an interviewer, telling about the job I worked at recently.
In addition, there were coding and architecture questions.
Overall the interview was average, the people were nice and it was a good experience.
An easy tech interview starting with a friendly chat, simple coding questions, and clear expectations. The interviewer guides you, values problem solving, and focuses on understanding rather than trick questions.
