Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.
Pretty straightforward, but the on-site had three rounds of interviews that were all LeetCode style in C++. My computer froze during one of the rounds, and that cut into our time.
Questions
A question about resource allocation and contexts. I think it's a graph coloring problem.
