Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I was rejected at the first coding interview. There were 4 CodeSignal questions and 1 hour and 30 minutes. At that time, I didn't have any experience solving coding questions, but if I had practiced some LeetCode medium questions, I think I would have been fine.
Questions
There was a question and I need to remove islands. The input was a 2D array matrix, and islands are represented by 1s. You need to remove the 1s except for 1s that are connecting edges of the matrix and return it.
