Interview
The interview was great and not hard. It was mostly problem solving and fixing code snippets. Leetcode questions like Rotate image , merge intervals, and Jump Game. They also bring graph/tree traversal questions.
The interview process typically involves submitting a resume, a phone or video screening, technical assessments or coding tests, followed by in-person or virtual interviews, and ends with feedback or an offer.
