Onsite round 1

A Medium string-plus-HashMap problem. The candidate found the approach quickly. The follow-up asked how to make the code production-ready, but the source does not preserve the prompt or code being improved.

Onsite round 2

An Easy heap problem with no substantial follow-up. The candidate finished early and had about ten minutes for questions.

Onsite round 3

A Medium-to-Hard object-oriented problem. The interviewer supplied a scenario, and the candidate had to design classes, objects, and methods. Clarifying the scenario took significant time; once understood, the candidate finished the implementation in the final five minutes.

Onsite round 4

The behavioral interview spent roughly half its time on a deep resume discussion and half on hypothetical situations. The candidate described it as collaborative rather than a rigid question-and-answer session.

The exact three technical prompts are not preserved, so no practice links are asserted.
