This was one of the most unprofessional experiences I've ever had. Every interviewer was late, and one didn't even show up. After they finally showed up, my tech interviews went very well. I could answer every question and even got feedback that my preparation was excellent. Then after the four rounds, they told me that my tech rounds didn't go well, which was just impossible. It was a huge waste of my time. Wouldn't recommend this.

Technical Coding Behavioral
So, in the interview, they threw two Data Structures and Algorithms questions at me. The first one was about figuring out and coding a way to handle categories and subcategories based on paths and IDs, which ended up being a Trie thing. The second one was about doing stuff efficiently with a Priority Queue, testing if I knew heaps and how to get things in order. Oh, and I also had to talk about my project, going deep into how it's built, what tech I used, the tough spots, and how I made it work well and scale.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Given paths of categories and subcategories ending with an ID, can you design a data structure for efficient storage, insertion, and searching within this hierarchy?
- Could you explain your project in detail, covering its architecture, technologies, challenges, and your problem-solving strategies for scalability?

The experience was good overall. It's important to have a strong grasp of Data Structures and Algorithms, as they form the core of the evaluation. The interviewers were friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. There were three rounds in total: The first round was a technical interview, focused on DSA and problem-solving. The second round was a managerial interview, where they asked in-depth questions based on my resume and past experiences. I’m not sure about the final round, as I wasn’t selected to move forward.
