Interview
It was a very straightforward interview process. After submitting my application after two weeks I was given an email to schedule a one-on-one zoom interview where we went over basic technicals, and we also went over my resume as well. They asked about some behaviorials too. The whole interview lasted around 30 minutes and at the end, I was allotted time to ask questions about the role and the firm. A few weeks later I was invited to a superday, and this superday consisted of five separate interviews, all with varying difficulty and different types of questions asked. The super day was much more focused on technicals. A day later I got a call saying that I had received an offer with the firm.
