Interview process

Overall, I’d rate the process as smooth and structured, with four rounds in total: two technical rounds focused on SQL and DSA, one system/design round, and one hiring manager discussion. The expectations were clear in advance, interviewers were punctual, and the questions were well aligned with the role. What went well was the depth and relevance of the SQL and design problems, which gave me a fair chance to showcase my experience with data pipelines and large-scale systems. What could have been better was more clarity on the evaluation criteria and faster post-interview communication, as the waiting period between rounds felt a bit long
