Interview
The interview process started with an initial recruiter screening, followed by technical interview rounds. The technical interviews focused on data structures, algorithms, problem-solving, and discussing my approach clearly. The interviewers also asked behavioral questions related to teamwork, challenges, and past projects. Overall, the process was structured and professional.
