Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through college or university. The process took two weeks.

There were mainly LeetCode-style questions that were medium to difficult, including topics like arrays and palindromes, with a lot of follow-ups on the thinking process. The interviewer was very nice, however, and also gave hints if needed.
