Process
I applied through their website and received an email from Akuna about a 90-minute code test.
The test had a total of 8 questions:
- 6 multiple-choice questions
- 2 coding questions
They were all easy, except for the last question, which I couldn't solve due to insufficient time.
I haven't received another email from them and am still waiting.
Questions
code Q1: Cut-the-Sticks problem.
code Q2: (S Expression) Binary tree problem.
