Interview Process

The interview consisted of two main parts: the coding exercise and the behavioral questions. In the coding exercise, I was asked to solve a problem related to data structures. The interview lasted about 30 minutes, during which I had to explain my thought process while coding. I felt confident solving it, but I had some doubts about edge cases. After the coding part, the interviewer shifted focus to behavioral questions. They asked me about my previous internships, teamwork experiences, and how I handle conflicts. I shared a specific project where I had to collaborate with a diverse team to complete a challenging task. I concluded the interview feeling positive but anxious about the outcome.
