This experience is from 2022. I had an online assessment with two easy-level problems and two questions that asked me to explain my approach of each question. This was fairly straightforward, and I was able to move on to the next stage of interviews.

I had two technical interviews, each 45 minutes long, and I was supposed to have a bar raiser round afterward. Both technical interviews included questions about my resume and one coding question each. The interviews were engaging — I explained my approach as I worked through the problems, and the interviewers guided me when needed. I was able to solve both questions successfully.

Afterward, I was asked to schedule the bar raiser round, but hiring freeze started, and I never got the chance to complete it. I followed up for a couple of months, and my application status remained “under consideration.” After six months, the status changed to “no longer under consideration.”

They asked me to traverse a binary search tree (BST) and print the nodes level by level, with each level’s nodes connected using -> and ending with null. For example, given the tree:

 a

/
b c / \ /
d e f g

Output: a -> null b -> c -> null d -> e -> f -> g -> null.
