It started with a leetcode-style problem where the interviewer could jump in and help if I got stuck. Then there was a math/probability question, and sometimes the interviewer would ask for clarifications on terms. Overall, the difficulty felt pretty standard.

This was one of the worst interview experiences ever. The interviewer didn't have their camera on, but I did. I was just given the questions without any discussion. I could hear the interviewer typing while I was trying to solve the problems. The interviewer seemed uninterested and offered no hints or proper discussion. I'd read similar reviews about this company's interview process, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. It felt like a complete waste of time.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Standard Leetcode questions were asked.
- Questions related to probability and statistics were included.
