Interview
Round1: BQ*4
Round2:Code*1(Discussion)
Round3:BQ*2+Code*2
In Round1, I was asked some common questions, such as how I handle tasks outside my responsibilities and how I deal with negative feedback. Round2 seems like a bar raiser. I was asked about a variation of a data structure, specifically involving a hierarchical architecture.
Round3 was friendly. Common BQ questions and easy/medium code questions.
