Entrevista
Hiring process included 1 code quiz & 3 rounds of 1:1 interviews.
Online round: Code test on Codility. 1 hour 30 mins for 3 questions. I found the questions to be of Leetcode easy-medium difficulty, and managed to score 100%.
Round 1 (backend, 1 hour): Starts off with easy questions which get increasingly difficult. Pseudo code is sufficient; I just needed to explain the code without executing them. Ended with a system-design question - "how would you design a room booking system?"
Round 2 (frontend, 1 hour): Oddly, I got received the same question as the previous round. I raised this to the interviewer but we still proceeded. I just needed to explain my approach without coding. Bulk of the interview was coding a JS event listener using OOP approach.
Round 3 (hiring manager): Was supposed to be culture fit and systems design but it ended up just being culture fit interview with 0 technical questions.
Overall, all interviewers were pleasant and I had a great experience interacting with them, esp the hiring manager. Recruiter was extremely helpful and quick to respond too.

1st Round: 3 Leetcode questions, 1 easy and 2 medium level difficulty. Optimization is important as it impacts your overall score which you get after completing the questions. I got 81% and moved on to the next round
2nd & 3rd Round: Two interviews back to back first one was about frontend and the second one was about backend. Interviewers were very friendly, felt like I was at a mamak and chatting. Mostly basic stuff for CSS and JS, expected way harder things but the easy stuff that I haven't used in awhile came out. For the backend portion it was mostly about my projects and how I scaled them, I work more with ML so I talked about those a lot.
