The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical assessment. After that, there was a loop of four interviews including coding, system design, and behavioral rounds. The coding rounds focused on problem solving and data structures, while the system design round evaluated how I approach scalable backend or service architecture. The behavioral round focused on collaboration, ownership, and past project experience.

It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
