I only did the online assessment. Still waiting for the recruiter to tell me the next step. The OA included two coding questions, one work simulation question list and a survey.
Good experience during the interview. Process was easy and the interviewer was very nice and patient. He gave me enough time to solve the problem. I recommend going through data structures and algorithms.
