I had a phone screen with an engineering manager at Chewy. He asked about my current experience and projects I've worked on recently.

I was also asked one behavioral question: "Tell me about an instance when you came up with a simple solution to a complex problem." I was able to provide an instance for this.

After spending about 10-15 minutes on the behavioral and background-related questions, we went into the coding question. I was asked one LeetCode medium/hard-level question. I was able to write code for it, and it worked well for the scenarios that were provided. I ran it several times to make sure that the corner cases were covered.

I am not sure if he understood the solution very well. He asked me to explain different parts of the code a couple of times.

Overall, I think I did well in the interview. However, he ghosted me after that. I did send him a follow-up email a week later but didn't get a reply. I'm not sure what was expected in the interview.

Chewy has multiple fulfillment centers across the US. Each fulfillment center is represented by coordinates on the map.

Design an algorithm that takes a list of FC coordinates and returns a matrix where each element represents a location on the map and contains a distance to the closest fulfillment center. For simplicity, assume that only vertical and horizontal moves are allowed on the map.

Example Input: Map size: 4x6 Fulfillment centers locations (0-based): (1,2), (3,3)

Output: 3 2 1 2 3 4 2 1 0 1 2 3 3 2 1 1 2 3 3 2 1 0 1 2
