Interview
I had to go through two back to back interview on campus. First one, I think I excelled. Second one, the interviewer cancelled my solution approach in few seconds, which I later checked would have lead to the different but correct solution. Then he guided the solution, I think followed just fine and came to the solution. My fear of being perceived as inadequate while guided by the interviewer came true, and I didn't get the offer. Then they told me to improve on my data structure and algorithm skill. At this point I don't know how to improve those!

Given an expression with parentheses (possibly unmatched) and literals (letters, numbers) sprinkled in between, delete the minimum number of literals/parentheses to make the expression valid.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
