Interview
Stage 1 - Online Assessment
2 Leetcode questions and a Behavioural survey. Both were not hard.
Stage 2 - Virtual Phone Screen
1 hour interview. A couple of behavioural questions for the first 15 minutes and 35 minutes to solve 2 coding questions. Last 10 minutes for candidate to ask the interviewer questions. Behavioural questions are very important and you need to impress the interviewer early.
