Interview Process

The interview consisted of three major rounds. The first round was a technical interview focusing on data structures and algorithms, where several questions related to arrays and strings were asked. The interviewers were very supportive and helped guide me through the problem-solving process.

In the second round, there was a system design interview with an emphasis on designing scalable systems. I was asked how I would approach the architecture for a messaging platform.

The final round included behavioral questions where I discussed my past experiences and how I handled certain situations in my previous roles. Overall, the process was quite thorough and engaging, leaving me with optimism about the outcome.
