Candidate-reported interview process

It was a three stage process. The first stage was a coding round with two questions, one about inserting a word into a trie and another similar to the balanced parenthesis problem. The next two stages were in-person.

The interview was scheduled for 1 hour and 30 minutes, as stated in the email. It included 3 coding problems and some questions about my resume. The interviewer was very helpful and gave me good guidance on how to approach the answers.

It was a pretty standard technical interview process. They asked me a lot about C programming and pointers, plus some OOPs stuff. There were also a couple of easy DSA questions. In total, I had two technical rounds.
