The interview process consisted of two online rounds followed by three on-site rounds.
Online Rounds
Round 1: A one-hour, one-on-one introductory call focused on mutual fit. The interviewer asked about my background, career goals, and experience while sharing details about the team’s structure and company culture.
Round 2: Another one-on-one session tackling a straightforward engineering problem. The emphasis seemed to be on code cleanliness, maintainability, and structuring solutions logically rather than just correctness.
On-Site Rounds (All on the Same Day):
Round 1: A moderately challenging algorithmic problem with two interviewers.
Round 2: A system design problem where I had to architect a scalable solution while discussing trade-offs. Similarly, two interviewers were present.
Round 3: A practical engineering problem similar to the second online round but more complex. The two interviewers observed how I optimized and refactored code incrementally.
