The interview process started with a manager round as the first stage, followed by a coding round as the second. There were three additional rounds after clearing those. I wasn’t able to get past the coding round. The problem itself would feel easy if you had seen it before, but it was classified as a hard-level LeetCode problem — essentially, merging multiple sorted streams using a heap (a variation of merge sort)
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nylas (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2022
Interview
The screening call was more of a behavioural interview than a technical one. I was given a link with a calendar of available times and I chose the one most convenient for me.

Describe a time where you were under pressure, how did you deal with it?
