Round 1 – Data Structures & Algorithms: Focused entirely on problem-solving and coding. The questions were of medium to hard difficulty level, testing both optimization skills and clarity of thought. Round 2 – DSA + Googliness & Leadership: This round included a mix of coding and behavioral evaluation. The DSA portion featured problems related to Dynamic Programming, one being similar to the Longest Increasing Subsequence type. The last 15 minutes were dedicated to Googliness and Leadership, where I was asked situational and HR-style questions such as: A conflict you faced and how you resolved it Your biggest achievement or failure How you approach challenges and teamwork Round 3 – Technical + Behavioral mix (if applicable): Further assessment of coding proficiency, structured thinking, and communication.

The interviewer was multitasking while he was interviewing me, and well he was doing it effortlessly. He began by saying it will be a 1 hr interview, with first 45 minutes for DSA and last 15 minutes for HR questions, he then began without asking for an intro, and pasted the question to the doc. I was able to come up with a solution within time, so I briefly explained it to him, he asked me to code it up after clarifying/understanding my approach. After I was done, he gave another follow-up, which I gave multiple approaches to, but not the one he expected. However, he appreciated that I tried approaching in multiple ways. And he asked some common HR questions the last 15 mins, and the interview ended successfully!
