I received an email about scheduling a 45 min interview. This was my first so I was not ready. You don't go through HR screening, but your first interview is right off the bat technical. I was given one question to solve via an online code editor that could be run, it had some faulty issues that wasted time and made me more nervous. I couldn't solve the question before time was up and wasn't offered a second interview. Interviewer was very nice though.

Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
