Faced three rigorous rounds of technical interviews that assessed my understanding of core computer science concepts, programming proficiency, problem-solving ability, and analytical thinking. Each round focused on different technical domains including data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and system design. I demonstrated strong subject knowledge, wrote optimized and clean code, and communicated my approach clearly. My adaptability to new problems and confidence in handling real-time coding challenges were appreciated by the interviewers. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that highlighted both my technical competence and my ability to perform under pressure.

very chill, two rounds technical interview, normal LC easy/med plus behavioral.. post interview did not hear back for two weeks but then heard the good news. everyone was nice and supportive in the process.
There are 3 back to back interviews, each last for 45 minutes. Each interview asked one behavior question and one technical question. Overall, I think the interview process was pretty standard.
