Interview process will mostly have 5 rds. First one will be on coding platform like HackerRank where you'll be asked to solve 2 DSA problems and explain the same. In the next 2 rounds, you'll have virtual interview with an SDE where you'll be asked 2 DSA questions to solve.
You'll have to explain the approach to the interviewer before starting to write the code. Even if you don't know the ideal approach for that problem, explain your approach, try to understand what interviewer is saying, they might provide you some tips. Also make sure you ask everything you need about the problem, if not ask the interviewer about the problem before staring to write code. Th next round will have a Senior SDE where you'll have a DSA problem and some questions about your project, areas of interest. The next one will be bar raiser rd with an experienced SDM where you'll have a DSA problem, questions about your project, your areas of interest, experience with your current employer.

Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Pregunta 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Pregunta 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
