Just like any other normal SWE process. Online interviews were postponed a lot, took over 2 months to complete the interview process.

    Online assessment

    1. Q1. A LC type question and a AI based codebase bug fix
  2. 2

    Phone screen

  3. 3

    Technical round

    1. Q1. Given a family tree, find upcoming birthday
  4. 4

    Final / onsite round

    1. Q1. Give text corpus, build next word predictor

Tips from the candidate

Be prepared for open ended questions and to write on notepad. LC helps but not all interviews will be based on that.

Company culture

Just the timeline kept postponing, and the interview feedback didn't feel quite accurate.
