Interview
It's been a tough process, but I want to say I've tried my best. The interview is mainly for algorithms, so the ability of the algorithm will directly affect whether you can get an offer.
The interview process was very difficult and long as it included multiple steps and processes. The hardest part would be the technical interview, which required leetcode difficulty problems to be completed.

Interview
After an initial coding exercise, I was interviewed by two different engineers over a Google Meet call. The coding exercise is not hard, just to screen candidates that are going to be interviewed later. Each call lasted 45 minutes (about 5 min to introduce to each other and maybe ask some questions about the company/the interviewer's role) and then 40 for the actual problem. I has a 15 min break between both calls.
