Process

Referred on October 15th. Received an email from HR on October 29th and scheduled a phone interview for November 20th.

Phone Interview:

  • Started by asking about projects on my resume.
  • Discussed two projects: one from my previous internship using C++, and another from school.
  • Proceeded to coding problems on HackerRank. There were three coding problems in total:
    • Merge sorted array
    • Check if two trees are the same
    • Validate if a tree is a binary search tree
  • Received a code snippet at the end and was asked to think of test cases and fix a bug, which mainly involved completing the task to reverse an integer.
  • Was given time to ask questions about the company.

Questions

That would be to fix the overflow issue in the last question.
