The interview process was well-structured and professional, consisting of multiple rounds that assessed technical proficiency, problem-solving skills, and system design knowledge. The interviewers were knowledgeable, asked insightful questions, and focused on real-world applications of engineering principles. The technical assessment was challenging but provided a great opportunity to showcase my expertise in coding, database management, and API design.
