Process

  1. Recruiter call
  2. A coding screen for 1 hr, two questions (LeetCode #3 and vertical scan a binary tree from left to right)
  3. A coding screen and a system design screen, both are 1 hr long; the system design screen is to build a stock price alert system, ask many questions about scalability, etc.

Questions

The second coding round is an algorithm similar to Candy Crush, but in a 1D array. So, if there are more than $k$ continuous same numbers, they need to be eliminated.
