Interview Process
The interview process involved two parts: a coding challenge and a behavioral interview.
In the first part, I was given a LeetCode question to solve in an online coding editor. The interviewer was friendly and provided hints throughout the problem-solving process. I was asked to explain my thought process and reasoning at each step, ensuring I was not stuck for too long. The problem was engaging, and I enjoyed the challenge, even though I felt some pressure to perform well.
After finishing the coding part, we transitioned to the behavioral questions. The interviewer asked about my previous work experience, how I collaborated with team members, and how I handled conflict in a team setting. They seemed particularly interested in my problem-solving approach during real-world projects.
Overall, it was a positive experience, and I believe that I managed to convey my skills effectively. I am now waiting to hear back about the decision.
