The timeline started fast for me—I received the test within a couple days after applying.

The coding part asked for Python or C++ and the questions weren’t presented as trivial. They leaned on medium-level LeetCode-style problems, and I had about an hour to answer three questions focused on things like strings and maps.

I also got told there would be a total of four rounds after the test, so the first assessment felt like the start of a longer pipeline even if it was only one sitting. Overall, it felt difficult more because of the volume and time constraints than because any single question was impossible. I was rejected eventually, but the process itself felt intense and clearly
