OA + Behavioral questions
OA Seemed like a pretty fair backend coding question, but you likely don’t qualify unless you finish all 4 parts (3.5 was not enough)
Behavioral questions were a waste of time but it was pretty obvious what the “right” answers were as it was multiple choice

Interview
Recruiter call, then a technical phone Interview. The question was a variation of 3Sum leetcode question. I was able to solve it, but I still didn't pass. People say they expect you to solve 2 leetcode questions, and since I only solved 1, I think that was the reason of my rejection
The interview process typically starts with an online assessment, often featuring LeetCode Medium–level coding problems. This is followed by one or more technical interviews, focusing on data structures, algorithms, problem-solving, and system design. Behavioral questions assess communication, teamwork, and culture fit.
