The interview was simple, asked basic questions like string traversal and array reverse, then moved to the next round. This was difficult; they asked me to design the complete system considering the HLT and LLT, and also to explain the trade-off.

Question 1
Basic string and array, ask me to reverse the array
I only did one interview. They ask you some questions about your work style and background. I also did the coding assessment, which was difficult for me but I didn't really have a coding background.
Interview mode is virtual. They focused more on scenario based questions. Interview experience is very good. I hope attended 2 interviewers and interviewed both simultaneously. At last asked me to focus on multiple skills.
