Interviewer was very nice, but a bit hard to understand. He asked questions on past projects that I worked on, especially the technical aspects. He also asked questions on frontend theory, and finally asked a coding questions which was done live.
5 rounds interview. Did leetcode and explain before the real questions. Questions were mainly about what you have done before. Only 10% questions were about the frontend. Will send email to schedule the interview time, but mostly at night
