Interview
I initially had a call with the recruiter where we went over my experience. Then I had 2 technical round scheduled. The first was a pair coding round where I had to solve upto 3 questions depending on the time available. I solved 2 and the interviewer was really good. The second one was more domain questions on topics like Python, REST API, Docker, SQL etc. This as my first time participating in this type of an interview so I couldn't do all that well. The overall process was really good with interviewers from across the globe, It wasn't too difficult and I could've done better if I was more prepared.
As I approached the interview process, I had felt that it was all a very straightforward process. Both of my first round interviewers were nice and helpful but the cases they provided were quite difficult.
There are 2 different rounds with 2 back to back Interviews each, case study and personal interview. I made it through both rounds then received a rejection about a week after the 2nd round
