Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process kicked off with an HR screening, which was then followed by a coding exercise. Honestly, the question itself wasn't too tough to solve, but how it's assessed really hinges on the interviewer. If they like your solution, you'll likely move on to the next stage. But yeah, it's not a walk in the park.

The interview started with an online coding assessment that was pretty easy. Then there was a coding interview round, which was pretty standard. They asked one general question about OOP/DSA and wanted me to code it from scratch in a new VSCode file. The last round was a behavioral interview. I didn't get an offer in the end; they took more than 1.5 months to reject me after the final round. The overall experience was good up until the final stage.

I had 2 interviews in 1 day at the start, one technical and one design. They were done with proctors who asked questions surrounding the existing team I would be joining. I don't think the interview process was difficult and appreciated the discussion I had during the design interview.
