Waiting for result
The interview process involved a tech phone screen that lasted about an hour. The interviewer started with a brief introduction and then asked about my background and experiences.
The main focus of the interview was on coding problems, including some data structures and algorithms questions. I was also asked about some design challenges related to software engineering principles.
Overall, it was a good experience. The interviewer was very friendly and encouraged me to think aloud as I worked through the problems. They were interested in my problem-solving approach and how I would communicate my solutions.
In the end, I felt that I performed well, but I’m still waiting for feedback on whether I moved on to the next round of interviews.
