Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

They tested me on their leadership principles and algorithms and data structure problems. I was interviewed by four SDEs. One was from a different team.

Each interview took around 45 minutes, with 15 minutes dedicated to principles and 30 minutes to coding.

Questions

Three Sum variation. Given 'cat', 'rat', 'sat'. Write a program to determine if it is possible to get from 'cat' to 'sat'.

This is a problem on arrays, an interval problem.

They gave equal importance to leadership principles.
