Process

It started with a recruiter gathering basic background information and emphasizing what would be asked in the interview.

He then scheduled a technical interview. The technical interview began with a formal chat, followed by a question on data structures implementation.

I initially answered with a brute-force approach and then proceeded to other implementations. The engineer was quite helpful and assisted me when I was stuck.

Questions

Implementation of a max value in an array (specific conditions mentioned). A BST implementation.

Was this helpful?
