YOE - 2.5+ Location - Bangalore, India Applied through referral, reached out by recruiter after 2 months. I was able to solve 2 levels of OA and the third level partially ( only 4 test cases were failing ). The screening interview went well in my opinion. - Valid Palindrome - was able to explain and code it with time and space complexities. - Next permutation - had a discussion about that and explained it well, discussed time and space complexity. Was not asked to code this for some reason. Interviewer seemed happy. Received rejection today, not sure what happened there. I guess it is a lot about luck then.
