I went through two interviews with different departments. The first interviewer was a Chinese guy who spoke accented English, and appeared quite disinterested. I was given a leetcode Hard level question and only managed to come up with a sub-optimal solution. He didn't give any hints and simply told me that I had 5 minutes to come up with a solution. The interview ended and as expected I did not pass.
The second interviewer was very friendly and told me a lot about the job scope before asking me two algorithm questions. I managed to solve those quickly, although I needed a couple of hints. Then he asked some basic networking questions. I felt the interview went pretty smooth so I was disappointed when there was no offer.

The interview started with a discussion of my past projects, followed by several questions on computer science fundamentals such as operating systems, databases, and basic data structures. After that, I was given a short live coding task, which involved printing an inverted pyramid pattern. The overall process was straightforward and focused on evaluating both technical understanding and basic coding ability.
