The interview process took around 6 weeks. First was a Hackerrank. After passing that, I had two interviews. The first had two leetcode mediums, easily finishable within 20-30 minutes. The second interview was more difficult, but feasible. Both interviewers were very polite and amiable. Declined due to other offers.

Interview
Interview questions were difficult confusing to understand; I had to take time to understand what the question was even asking and wish I could ask clarifying questions. Time allotted to question responses were too short, especially the first question that was given only 5 minutes to respond to.
