Interview
Recruiter - Hiring Manager 1 - Hiring Manager 2. They would let you know if you're through to the next step within a day.
Overall quick process, responsive Recruiter, pleasant interviewers, clear closure email.
The interview kicked off with a comprehensive resume breakdown, during which the interviewer asked extremely granular and probing questions about the technical implementation of my past projects. Following this deep dive, I was tasked with solving two LeetCode-style coding challenges, both of which were at an easy-to-medium difficulty level and focused on core algorithmic logic.
