Entrevista
Sent my resume to the recruiter, got invited into the first round of interviews. The recruiter told me to inform her if i didn’t apply on the job portal and then she would send me a link to apply as its a mandatory step. I sent her an email saying that i did not apply then i never got a reply on that but i still went ahead and did the online assessment. A few days later the recruiter reached out saying i made it to the second interview without acknowledging my previous emails. I did the second interview a few weeks ago and still did not get any feedback on it. I decided to email the recruiter a week after i did the interview but never got a reply back. I consider this a rejection however i do not really think that not getting a reply back from the recruiter is a professional way to handle things.

2 algorithm question (Online Assessment)
Then 30min talk and 30min algorithms questions with a software developer
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.

Pregunta 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.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Pregunta 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
