Candidate-reported interview process

First there's a screening interview. Then, there are usually 2 or 3 rounds: round 1 is coding and algorithms, round 2 is a technical discussion, and round 3 is an optional final round if needed.

It was a 2 round interview process. Each round was about an hour. The first round was a coding interview with an easy and a medium question on Hackerrank. The second round was a technical discussion and cultural fit interview. This round included tough technical questions related to the role and also some questions about my work style and skills.

The best way to get ready is to look for the most reliable source for your ability, and then you'll be prepared for a long time, have a great life, and eventually get to a good job.
