Interview
At first, you have to pass the HR interview. HR was very friendly and polite. When you pass the HR interview, they give you a simple project that you should finish in 3 days. If you finish the project and it checks the reqirement, than you have a technical interview

Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
