Interview
So far two technical interviews leetcode style with a mix of behavoral questions in the second one. Not a lot of communication from the recruiter. Still unsure if I am in contention or not for the position.
I applied online without referrals
First OA with 2 coding questions, medium to hard level, 1 hour time limit
Then 5 online recorded behavior questions, only 1 try, no retries
Next round is meeting the hiring manager and a senior engineer in the team
