Process
I interviewed for the fresh graduate program when I was in school.
The interview process consisted of one phone interview and two coding challenges.
The complexity was fair; the challenges got harder as I moved into each round.
It was very focused on algorithms, implementations, and code efficiency. I believe they were all LeetCode problems.
Questions
Calculate the number of paths between points A and B, given you can only move up or right each time.
