Interview Process

The interview consisted of two parts: a coding challenge and a behavioral section. In the coding part, I was asked to solve a problem related to binary trees, which required a good understanding of recursion. The interviewer provided hints and was very supportive throughout the process. The behavioral part focused on teamwork and problem-solving abilities, where I was asked about a time I faced a challenge in a group project and how I handled it. This section felt more conversational, allowing me to discuss my experiences in depth.
