Interview
It was a nice process, and the interviewers were friendly in nature. The first round was an online test with 2 questions. The next round was a personal interview where I had two panelists. The questions there were focused more on problem-solving skills rather than advanced data structures.
Two screening tests followed by 3 technical interviews. The level was medium. Basic knowledge of DSA and a good problem solving approach is required to clear all the rounds. Questions related to binary trees were asked in interview rounds.
