Process
It was alright. There was a three-step process:
First, there were two medium-level LeetCode questions on HackerRank.
Then, there was a day-in-the-life as an employee.
Finally, there were three 1-hour technical interviews back-to-back.
Questions
For the three technical questions, the first one was about having a string and finding similar words within it. The second was a BFS question, while the third involved a Max/Min Stack.
