Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you have an urgent dateline that cannot be pushed backwards, what would you do?
There are three rounds: chat with AI, tech call and behaviorial call. The AI HR is incredibly robotic and boring. In the technical interview, you'll need to solve two Hackerrank problems, and discuss the progresses with the interviewer. In the behaviorial call, the interviewer asked many behavioral questions, including some that I haven't prepared to.
Standard Leetcode problem, around easy to medium difficulty, they want to hear your thought process during the interview so do speak up more while coding. Interviewer was very nice and helpful during the interview
