Interview Process
The interview consisted of several rounds, including a technical phone screen followed by onsite interviews. During the technical phone screen, I was asked about my experience with various programming languages and data structures. One of the most challenging problems involved implementing a binary search algorithm. The interviewer was particularly interested in my thought process and problem-solving skills, and I made sure to explain each step as I coded. The onsite interviews covered a wider array of topics, including system design and behavioral interviews, aimed at assessing my overall fit with the company culture.
