Interview Process

The interview process consisted of two main parts: coding and behavioral. In the coding section, I was asked to solve two algorithm problems. I was able to solve both problems while discussing my thought process with the interviewer.

The behavioral part included questions about my previous internship experiences, teamwork, and conflict resolution. I provided specific examples from my previous roles.

Overall, it was a challenging but fair process. I felt good about my performance, but I’m still waiting for the final decision from the hiring team.
