Interview Process
The interview was divided into two parts: a coding challenge followed by behavioral questions. During the coding challenge, I was tasked with solving a problem related to data structures using Python. I successfully completed the problem, but the interviewers focused heavily on my thought process and asked multiple questions about my approach. After the coding portion, we transitioned to behavioral questions, where they inquired about my previous projects and how I handle conflict within a team. Overall, the experience was positive, and I felt that the interviewer was genuinely interested in my responses.
Technical Questions

Tips & Insights
Be prepared to explain your thought process during coding challenges, as interviewers may focus on your approach rather than just the final solution. Additionally, reflect on past projects and team dynamics to answer behavioral questions effectively.
