Interview
The selection process started with a technical test consisting of 10 questions, which evaluated my basic knowledge in the technical field. After successfully passing this stage, I was invited to a technical interview.
During the interview, we discussed the projects I had previously worked on, with a focus on the approaches and technologies used. This was followed by a practical test where I wrote code in C++. The questions addressed fundamental concepts such as pointer usage, list traversal, and other essential aspects related to manipulating data structures.
