Interview Process

The interview consisted of a coding challenge followed by behavioral questions. The coding challenge was very similar to typical LeetCode problems, focusing on algorithmic thinking and data structures. After the coding segment, I was asked to describe a project I worked on in detail and how I overcame challenges during its implementation. Overall, the interviewers were friendly and encouraged questions throughout the process, making it a comfortable environment. They seemed genuinely interested in my thought process as I approached the coding challenges. I left the interview feeling positive and hoping for the best.
