Interview Process
The interview process started with an initial screening call, where basic information about my background and experience was discussed. After that, I was invited for a technical conversation that included questions about data structures and algorithms. The interviewer asked me to solve a problem related to arrays and string manipulation, requiring me to explain my thought process as I coded. We discussed how to optimize the solution further and I was asked about different edge cases. After the technical part was complete, we moved on to behavioral questions, which included scenarios from my previous projects and how I handled challenges in teamwork. Overall, the interview felt positive and I was encouraged by the dialogue we had.
