I received the profile on LinkedIn through email. After the telephone discussion of the company and the profile, we got to the interview round.
It consisted of one technical round. The interview was mostly focused on DSA, including other topics like networking, OS, Python, AWS, etc. The interviewer was very generous and it was more than an interview-a discussion. We discussed on various questions ranging from array to tree and graph and optimized the same. The interviewer was looking forward to as many optimizations as possible so he was provided multiple challenges as a follow-up. Wherever I felt stuck, he made me understand the concept and provided me with an idea of how to proceed. To some complex questions that followed, he asked me to explain in writing so that he could give it a try after the discussion was over. Even after its completion, to that mail that I forwarded to him containing the approach to some of the questions, he was keen on providing feedback and suggestions, which I acknowledged and provided him with an updated one.
Although, it was just a single round, but most importantly, it judged me to my length and breadth. It covered almost all possible topics which they were looking for and within a few days, I received the offer letter from the organization.
