Process

I had five LeetCode-style interviews with varying difficulty levels, mostly medium. The questions were heavily focused on data structures, with a good mix of problem-solving and algorithmic thinking. Overall, it was a smooth, well-organized, and efficient interview process. The interviewers were professional, the process moved quickly, and I had a positive experience throughout.

Questions

One of the questions I was asked was to generate all unique permutations of a string that may contain duplicate characters.
