An hour long interview that went over basic interview questions and testing some very basic coding skills. Questions were mainly in C. The interview seemed fair but intense. Questions included basic understanding of the language to some problem solving. Overall, the interview seemed fair.

Easy, straight forward. Easier interview processes compared to the Big 4. Mostly Algo, DS with some Networking. Interviewers were very professional. Lot of emphasis on previous work experience and design based questions. Also need to be a culture fit.
