Resume ReviewEasyBehavioral

Timeline was 2.5 weeks from applicatiopn to decision, was nervous coming since I heard all the horror stories online but realized it was all exaggerated and kind of like any other interview process. During the second round the fire alarm went off so it was cut short but I wouldn't exactly say there were any technicals asked more jsut concepts from school

Live codingBehavioralEasy

There were three back-to-back interview rounds, each lasting 45 minutes. In each interview, the first 30 minutes were focused on an easy-to-medium LeetCode-style question. The remaining time was spent on behavioral questions and discussions about my resume and past experiences. There were also scenario-based questions, where the interviewer presented specific situations and asked how I would respond or handle them.
