Bangalore RuralPosted Jul 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a recruiter touchpoint, I ended up with a focused technical screen that started with a quick introduction and then moved straight into two DSA questions.

The first was a binary-tree problem, and the second was a LeetCode-medium style question. The interview felt like it was checking a fairly specific DSA breadth, almost like the questions were meant to cover a known DSA curriculum.

What stood out most was the way the interviewers handled the pace. It felt thorough and tightly scheduled, with back-to-back interaction, but they stayed patient and listened as I fully articulated my thinking instead of cutting me off quickly. That made the whole thing feel less like a sprint than a real evaluation of how I reason.
