The interview process included a 30-minute recruiter screening which was a typical HR meeting. Following that, there was a 45-minute technical exercise focusing on algorithms and data structures using CoderPad. The second round consisted of an hour-long paired programming session. The onsite interviews involved meetings with the HR business partner for culture fit, the engineering manager, a staff engineer, and the CTO.

Technical Coding
The interview involved a take-home task where I had to build a real-time transaction management system. I spent a good amount of time on it, making sure to cover all the requirements and even adding extra stuff to show I really understood the tech and the job. After I sent it in, I just got a basic rejection email with no feedback or any sign that they even looked at my project. This was a bummer since I put so much effort into it. It feels like maybe they don't check these carefully, or at least don't tell people who put in a lot of time on big assignments. It's pretty discouraging and doesn't seem like they value our time.

First, the interviewers will introduce themselves, sharing their names, roles, and tenure at the company. Then, you'll get a chance to introduce yourself, talking about your education, past work, and any special skills you have. After that, you'll discuss a tough problem you had in your career. You'll need to explain what the situation was, why it was difficult, how you tackled it, and what happened in the end. Finally, they'll give you a LeetCode problem related to the job's tech needs. Make sure to talk through your thinking as you solve it, showing off your coding abilities, how you think logically, and how you can use algorithms and data structures for tricky problems.
