About two weeks after submitting my application, I received an invitation to take a HackerRank test, which appeared to be sent automatically. I only had three days to complete the task - it was the first time I encountered such a short deadline; in other places I was given at least a week. Moreover, the task was proctored, requiring a camera, microphone, and screen sharing. Because I was traveling at the time, despite my attempts I was unable to set up an environment that would not trigger the automated monitoring, and I was not able to complete the task.

The interview process started with an online coding assessment on HackerRank after the resume was shortlisted. The test mainly included data structures and algorithms questions focused on Graphs, Trees, and HashMap, with an emphasis on problem-solving, time complexity, and writing optimized solutions under time constraints.
