Round 1 & 2
The interview process begins with a 30-minute deep dive into the candidate's resume, during which the interviewer closely examines their experience, skills, and achievements to assess suitability for the role. This is followed by a 15-minute coding session where the candidate is required to write code in the company's integrated development environment (IDE). The objective is to ensure the code compiles successfully and passes all the provided test cases, demonstrating the candidate's technical proficiency and problem-solving skills.
