Interview process
The process was very smooth from start to finish. Communication with the recruiter was clear and timely, the scheduling was flexible, and I knew what to expect at each stage. The interviewers were friendly and professional, and the questions were fair and relevant to the role. I don’t have any real complaints about how it was run.

Tips from the candidate
Be consistent in DSA practice everyday. Be consistent with DSA practice every day rather than cramming. Focus on core topics like arrays, strings, hash maps, trees, graphs, and dynamic programming, and practice explaining your thought process out loud as you solve problems. Review the fundamentals of the role too, so you’re comfortable if questions go beyond pure algorithms.
Company culture
The people were the highlight. Everyone I met was friendly, supportive, and genuinely interested in my background. The conversations felt collaborative rather than adversarial, and the team came across as open and welcoming.
