Interview
The interview process was very smooth, engaging, and well-structured. Prior to the interview, they provided a specific use case and asked me to prepare a comprehensive technical solution along with an implementation timeline. During the actual interview, I had 10 minutes to present my proposed architecture to the team. This presentation was immediately followed by an in-depth Q&A session where the interviewers probed the technical details of my design and asked for specific system optimizations based on my presentation.
