The first round is a 5 hours (no kidding!) online assessment. 5 questions in total. The first one is an open ended broad an extremely generic question that is basically demanding you to write an essay (again, no kidding). The other 4 are ambiguously described programming problems (leetcode style). They clearly do not bother on writing the problem descriptions in an unambiguous way but they pretend perfection on all the answers. In the answer for the open ended question I have written about a little bit of everything trying to give to the reader a picture of what I had in my mind. The feedback was a joke: "we wish you talked more about [xyz]". Ask me specifically about [xyz], then! I am glad I dodged a bullet.

Question 1
Some questions involved some degree of parsing (either regular expression or else). One was a proper leetcode medium question
A bit anxiety inducing, there were two developers observing and asking questions. Real-time problem solving required, conducted on Hacker Rank virtually, video and mic enabled - quite nervewracking to say the least
I had one round, which was an online HackerRank test. I wasn’t able to pass all the test cases, and as a result, I did not progress to the next stage of the process.
A lot of interviews. Started off with a call, then some online tests. Then a technical interview. Then a live coding interview along with a architecture interview. Last step would have been final day interview but I did not get that far.

Question 1
How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
