Interview
Applied online and get two phone interviews. However, I did not prepare too much. Feel embarrassed during the interview. however they are quite nice to help and explain the concepts on the spot. Overall they are quite nice and gentle.
Very Intensive 4-5 rounds, you will be answering a lot technical questions that you have probably never heard before. The interviewers are very nice, and are willing answer any questions you may have about the firm.
CoderPad round: one live coding LeetCode-style problem and one debugging exercise. The round assessed core problem-solving, code correctness, edge-case handling, and the ability to reason clearly under time pressure. Discussed time and space complexity and tested edge cases. In the debugging task, the focus was on identifying defects quickly, tracing logic step by step.
