A recruiter contacted me because I was in their pool, having submitted an application a few years ago. I had canceled an interview at that time because I had already received another offer.

The interview process included:

• A phone screening
• A phone coding interview
• An on-site interview

During the on-site interview, there were three problem-solving sessions, a lunch session, and one design session (though this mainly focused on my PhD work). I felt the interview went quite well, but I did not receive an offer. The recruiter provided feedback that my problem-solving skills were sufficient, but the interviewers disliked my coding style. I can confirm that I finished writing all the solutions I proposed, and at least the interviewers agreed that the code worked. It's likely my coding style was not impressive enough for them.

NPA.

Problem-solving session: Dynamic programming, greedy algorithm, graph.
