Technical Coding System Design
So, I had a phone screen with one of the managers first, just to see if I was a good fit. They got back to me in a few days and invited me for an onsite interview. The onsite had 3 rounds. The first was theory-based, covering TCP, UDP, and general testing stuff. They also asked me to create a test plan for a wireless mouse and keyboard. Then, there was a whiteboard session with some algorithmic problems and Python questions. The last round was coding-focused, where I had to code answers for 3 problems in Python.

- Coding the solution to 3 questions in 45 mins was definitely the hardest part. But the interviewer helps and makes sure you dont get too tensed by talking to you through out the process.
