First was the online assessment. I wasn't really prepared and couldn't make it through. Definitely made me realize how much I needed to practice Data Structures and Algo. Better luck next time.

Question 1
The question that they asked me dealt with data structures and algorithms. Definitely, on the hard end of the spectrum, the first interviewer was very interactive and very helpful and I ended up solving the question. The second interviewer was super rude and belittled my work, he didn't say a word during the whole 45min of the interview and if he did it wasn't something nice.
