Reflecting on the experience, I'm grateful for the insights I gained, even though I ultimately declined the offer. The interviews were straightforward, starting with a coding screen where I tackled a graph traversal question. The technical rounds included generating permutations using backtracking and rearranging arrays for optimal prefix sums. Lucky for me, I had been working through the coding questions on prachub.com a few days prior, which really helped boost my confidence. Overall, the process was smooth and left me feeling well-prepared.

3 interviews, piece of cake, very transactional. HR people do what they can, plenty of rotations because it is not worth the hustle. Would not do it again in a million years.
