I received a call from the recruiter after completing the CodeSignal screening test and was invited to attend the drive on 21st Feb 2026.
During the drive, the first round was a coding round where they provided a laptop. There were two distinct coding questions to solve within one hour. The second question was assigned only after completing the first one. The platform used was CodeSignal.
I was able to solve both the questions, and all the test cases passed successfully. However, I still received a rejection after the round.
