The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

HR screening call, then a HackerRank assessment with one hard and one easy question. This was followed by a Superday which included another HackerRank assessment (two medium questions), a discussion on SDLC, and questions about experience and low-level system design. The final round was a chat with the hiring manager.Candidate-reported process
Recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn after I applied there to get some details. The process included an OA assessment and then a Coderpad round where I was asked a hard tree question, but I couldn't finish it in time.Candidate-reported process
It was like every interview, you gotta be ready, you know? Algorithms and data structures, arrays, sets, hash maps, trees, all that fun stuff. Just gotta be prepared.Candidate-reported process
