Interview Process
I had a total of three technical interviews. The first one was focused on algorithms and data structures, where I was asked to solve a problem related to binary trees. The interviewer was friendly and helpful, providing hints when I got stuck.
The second interview involved system design, where I had to build a scalable chat application. This part was challenging but enjoyable, as the interviewer assessed my approach and understanding of real-time messaging patterns.
The last part was a cultural fit interview where I discussed my previous experiences and how I align with the company values. Overall, the process was smooth, and I felt that the interviewers were genuinely interested in getting to know me.
