Interview
The interview consists 15min resume question + 45min coding. They will mainly ask you about internship experience. Didn't ask anything about the project. There will be technical questions related to your experiences. The coding questions are from their leetcode tagged questions.
1st round was a short call with HR, just introducing the company and the opportunity. After that, you'll move to the 5 technical rounds, mainly leetcode style coding questions. One or two interviewers will join, go over your resume, ask resume related questions, then start coding questions.
