Was smooth so far. Delayed responses but not too much. Applied in August, went through in September. Got rejected after the technical interview. A lot of friends got questions like palindromes and etc. from a bootcamp student recruiter, which are 6 lines of code, literally. I did not have such luck. Got a breadth first search problem which I solved, but not efficiently. Probably the reason why got rejected.

Interview
I had a phone interview that was mostly behavioral questions then an online assessment with 2 questions that are fairly easy if you practiced LeetCode similar problems and know about data structures and algorithms.

It was a good experience for me. Overall, the interviewers were nice, warm and welcoming. I gained valuable experience throughout the process. The questions they asked were not that difficult but I couldn't get any feedback after the interview.
