Interview process
The recruiter reached out with an online assessment shortly after I applied.
I was given one week to complete it.
The assessment was a 3-tiered coding exercise on Hackerrank, where I had to design an error monitoring system. That required a complex imbricated queue + dict structure. You could run the test cases and then work on follow up questions.

Tips from the candidate
Prepare DSA (data structures & algorithms) and be ready to combine multiple DSAs together. You have to be comfortable jumping from one structure to the other to be able to respond to different follow-ups.
Company culture
The online assessment was pretty tough. Cool down period of 6 months.
