“The interview was very quick. The system design is tricky but if you break down the problem into smaller parts it become feasible. The second technical conversation requires speaking out your thought process and reacting to the interviewer suggestions / conversation.”

“The screening process was pretty straightforward. It started with a few basic questions about my prior experience, relevant background, and the technical projects I had worked on. From there, the conversation focused on the projects I had mentioned, with questions about my specific contributions, the technologies I used, the challenges I encountered, and how I approached solving technical problems. Overall, the screening was fairly conversational and served mainly to assess my technical foundation, hands-on experience, and ability to clearly explain the work I had done.”
“MY DSA was top notch so no issues there, leadership principle questions are predictable so I answered thoroughly.”
“Overall went well. There were some technical questions which were asked but the interviewer assisted me to answer them.”

“Online application, then technical product manager interview, where I had to talk them through improving a selected product.”
