round 1: Online Assessment which is 4 hours long but it realistically takes about 3 with 70 minutes for the two coding questions. It included two leetcode type questions, a work simulation test, and behavioral/work-style questions
2nd round: 3x60 interview. 3 hour long interviews back to back with the first round being both technical and behavioral, i.e the interviewer asking behavioral questions as well as coding and the 2nd round being only technical with the interviewer asking only coding questions. 3rd round was purely behavioral.

Question 1
Tell us about a time where you left a company or an organization better than when you came to it
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Question 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
