I received a call from the HR firm. The overall interview experience was good. There were 3 rounds: The first was a technical round lasting 60 minutes where I was asked to solve 2 medium coding questions. The second round was for LLD/HLD and lasted 120 minutes. The third was an HM Round lasting 30-45 minutes. All three rounds were good. The interviewer was excellent and knowledgeable, and had a helping nature.

The whole process took about 3 weeks and had three rounds in total. After I passed all the rounds, they decided not to extend an offer a few days later for reasons unknown. Overall, it was an average experience. The first round covered basic data structure and algorithm questions. The second round involved language-specific questions and a system design component. The final round was focused on assessing cultural fit.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was very short and sweet. It felt very judgemental though. Interview articles can be a challenge for professional writers and freelance writers alike. Interviewing subjects can be intimidating, and arranging their answers into a coherent story can be difficult. However, when done correctly, interview articles can provide profound insight into the thoughts, life, and opinions of a subject.
