Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through a recruiter.
A recruiter reached out to me and scheduled an interview. At the beginning, the interviewer asked me to talk about a project I was most excited to share and asked a few straightforward questions about it. Then we moved on to a coding problem similar to LeetCode 1209, Remove All Adjacent Duplicates in String II, but presented as a Candy Crush scenario. I got stuck and wasn’t able to solve it during the interview. The interviewer mentioned that she might give me a two-dimensional version as a follow-up if I solved the first problem.
