The Online Assessment (OA) on 27th April included two medium-difficulty questions, behavioral questions, and a work style assessment. After a recruiter call, my interviews were scheduled post-18th May due to a vacation. The initial DSA + LLD interviews on 19th May were rescheduled due to interviewer unavailability.

The LLD Round on 17th June started with a 15-minute LP discussion. I designed an Issue management system (with different priorities, escalations, and a wait queue), and the interviewer was satisfied. Also on 17th June, the HLD Round involved designing a Parking Lot system. I initially discussed LLD aspects, but the interviewer was supportive and asked meaningful LLD-related questions. The last 15 minutes were for LP questions. The Bar Raiser round on 23rd June focused on HLD, as expected.
