Candidate-reported interview process

The overall experience was very good. There were 3 rounds. They asked coding and technical questions. The interviewer was nice. The process took 3 weeks. It was a virtual interview. The HR was helpful. I enjoyed the interview.

The supervisor was really nice and asked mostly behavioral questions. They also inquired about my understanding of the company, its products, competitors, and industry insights, but it was all pretty easy and relaxed.

They asked me about my past projects in depth, and some programming questions. Also, there were questions about indexing and sorting large datasets with memory constraints. I got an offer, but then it was withdrawn without any explanation.
