Interview process was three rounds. First was initial phone screen with the head of recruitement, then HR fit interview and finally there was a one hour technical Python live coding interview
The interview focused on purely technical topics, covering arrays, linked lists, stacks, hash maps, string reversal, and complexity analysis, and the remote format made the overall experience smooth and enjoyable.
