String manipulation, graph traversal and shortest path algorithms, bitshift math, all previously solved problems readily available on the internet.
Started with an online application, 2 weeks later received email to book the phone call. Then few days later the zoom meeting with hiring manager. Pretty fast hiring process for the first few rounds. No more answer after the 3rd interview unless followup, the decision process takes long.
