-
Company-fit round: Company-related scenarios, mostly related to leadership principles.
-
30-minute live coding round: In this round, the employer seemed not very welcoming as it was 9 AM PST. She gave me misleading hints about a "data structure" I was supposed to use after the brute-force approach. I tried to understand what she meant, but towards the last few minutes, she mentioned that she was expecting me to code with a sliding window.
