Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For behavioral part (15min) - Describe a project you worked on, describe a conflict you had with a coworker.
For technical part (45 min) - 2 leetcode questions for top30 meta list. They were medium difficulty.
Straightforward rounds of technical and behavioral, recruiter responded promptly and was open in communication. Mock interview was offered as an option, which was good for calibration to their interview standards. Technical questions and evaluation lean towards writing understandable / practical code (eg avoid recursion).
