Interview questions [1]
Question 1
normal leetcode medium questions. graph and algorithm problems
OA + Behavioral questions
OA Seemed like a pretty fair backend coding question, but you likely don’t qualify unless you finish all 4 parts (3.5 was not enough)
Behavioral questions were a waste of time but it was pretty obvious what the “right” answers were as it was multiple choice

Interview
Recruiter call, then a technical phone Interview. The question was a variation of 3Sum leetcode question. I was able to solve it, but I still didn't pass. People say they expect you to solve 2 leetcode questions, and since I only solved 1, I think that was the reason of my rejection
