Candidate-reported interview process
Had a recruiter screen, then a first interview which was half behavioral and half leetcode easy-medium questions. The second interview was supposed to be behavioral according to the recruiter, but it turned into a technical interview focusing on C++ memory storage. I think I did okay, but I didn't advance to the next stage. To top it off, the interviewer was late and the other one was really distracted the whole time, which felt super unprofessional.
The interview started with a technical part, then moved onto behavioral questions. It involved 3 coding questions, 1 SQL question, and systems design. We also talked about teamwork and how to optimize solutions. The style was leetcode-like, covering topics like trees, graphs, and ML, plus more to meet the word count.
