I started with a phone screen with a developer where I was asked some general interview questions. After that, I was passed to a multi-round interview.

From what I read, I believe the process would have been:

• Two rounds of technical interviews with two developers each.
• A manager round.
• A final HR round.

The first technical round was fairly easy, with some medium/easy LeetCode questions and questions to confirm my understanding of technical concepts on my resume.

I struggled in the second round. The problem itself was very easy, but unlike on LeetCode where you're given a clear input (e.g., an array of integers), I was asked to solve a problem to manage how many rooms I would need given a list of meeting times. I had a hard time imagining the list of times as an input I could use for a function. I offered a solution the developer thought was valid but not ideal. It was very clear he wanted me to come up with the solution he had in mind, but again, I was struggling with visualizing the input.

Overall, I would say the experience was a plus, since three of the four developers I talked to were polite and seemed interested in understanding my skills. But if you are stumbling on a question, try to ask the interviewer questions to see what they are trying to say, as I had a hard time with their wording.

Given a 2D array with some cells as pantries, find the steps to the nearest pantries.

You are given a list of meeting times with start and end times. Find the maximum number of rooms you need.
