Process
Completed OA on CodeSignal. Leetcode style 4 questions: 2 easy and 2 medium questions, but it is timed so it is hard to get it done in time. Only way to pass this OA is doing loads of Leetcode questions.
Questions
Q1 and Q2 are easy. Q3 was a 2D matrix question, super long. Q4 was an optimization question where you need time complexity consideration.
