Colloquio
I had interviewed for a number of positions (full time and intern) before, and was never successful until this, my final chance. Luckily, things went in my favor and I was offered a full-time position.
My recruiter was quick and very responsive over email. I already had an offer with another company at the time, and thus, my recruiter was able to expedite me through the already quick interview process. I had one coding challenge to be turned in whenever it was completed, a non-technical interview over the phone, and two on-site interviews. My first on-site interview was an interview with my recruiter plus a technical interview. My second on-site was a series of four technical interviews.
All in all, I was very pleased with the sincerity and speed my recruiter put in and of course, being given an offer made was the cherry on top :).

Expect typical software engineering coding questions on the more difficult side of the spectrum. Nothing easy like "reverse this array", but don't be afraid to ask questions during the interview and thinking out loud is encouraged.
Took about a month from start to finish, which felt longer than I expected. After a couple of initial phone screenings, I faced a challenging technical round focused on system design. It was during this round that I was asked to describe overcoming a major career challenge. Interestingly, I had just reviewed a similar framework on PracHub, which helped me articulate my thoughts clearly. Overall, I appreciated the depth of the process and ended up accepting the offer.

The entire process usually takes 3–8 weeks, depending on scheduling and the specific role. Coding interviews heavily emphasize common DSA topics such as arrays, strings, trees, graphs, BFS/DFS, heaps, hash maps, and dynamic programming. System design becomes increasingly important for E4+ positions.

Given an array of integers and a target value, return the indices of two numbers that add up to the target
Unexpectedly, the first question in the technical round felt familiar. It was about finding a subset of strings with unique character concatenation — same problem I had worked through on PracHub a few days earlier. The interview included a recruiter screen followed by a rigorous pair of technical interviews where I tackled data structures and algorithms alongside system design concepts. After successfully answering a few more challenging DSA questions, I received an offer. The entire experience was intense but ultimately rewarding, and I happily accepted the position.

Given an array of strings, pick a subset whose concatenation contains no duplicate characters, and return the maximum possible length of that concatenation.
