Process started 10/31/24 and ended 11/25/24. Submitted my application and received a take home assessment/project (build a simple native android app which fetches, filters, sorts, and displays data from http url of json objects in native android app) to complete within a week. Submitted this in 3 days with the help of chat gpt and received an email to schedule the first round interview. The email mentioned the interview would be a discussion with an engineer about the project. I studied up on how and why the code works down to every line, as well as broader mobile development concepts such as MVVM architecture, coroutines, jetpack compose, etc. Interviewer was really nice and it felt more like a conversation. There were some hiccups on my end but I was able to pretty correctly answer most of the questions. Received an email 24 hours after this interview asking me to confirm a final round round interview time slot. The email mentioned an android system design round and a leetcode round. The system design is a bit overkill for an internship, in my opinion, but it is what it is. Both interviewers were also very nice in this round. The android system design went alright. I had no experience interviewing for a system design scenario so it didn't go as smoothly as I liked. The problem revolved around constructing the model and viewModel layers of a simple UI which displays graphs of user data over different time frames (days, weeks, months). But through some hints and guidance we were able to come to a solution. The leetcode round after went much smoother. Was given a leetcode medium and 2 leetcode easies which I was able to solve correctly in 40-45 minutes. Unfortunately, a week and half later, I was notified I would not be selected for the position. Bummer but the recruiters and interviewers were all punctual and nice so I can't complain.

Develop a small application which will retrieve data from a given API and display it. Second part was a zoom interview in which we went over the app I built and some of my previous projects.
