July 1, 2022
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Submit resume -> HR call -> 4 rounds interview.

The first interview is behavioral, focusing mainly on previous experience and how you handle certain scenarios.

The remaining three interviews are coding interviews. Due to a signed NDA, I cannot share the exact content.

I passed the interviews but have been stuck in the team matching pipeline since last July.

Questions

The first question was a dynamic programming problem, which I solved using top-down dynamic programming with memoization. The second question was a standard binary search problem. The third question was a graph problem. However, the interviewer came up with this question himself, so he didn't know the right answer, and we were basically discussing how to solve it. I tried topological sorting, and he seemed to like the idea. Overall, I would say it was a fair interview.
