Interview process

The technical round covered SQL and data structures. The SQL portion felt more familiar, while the linked list question required additional thought. Time management was the biggest challenge.

Tips from the candidate

Practice SQL window functions, ranking, joins, and aggregation. For coding, review linked lists, pointers, and common data structure problems. Practice explaining your approach and testing edge cases.

Company culture

The technical questions emphasized problem-solving fundamentals. I would need more interaction with the team to form a meaningful opinion about the company culture.
