Round 1:
Screen share coding in a Google Doc. The interviewer was on time and directly posed the question after saying hello, not even giving me a chance to ask, "How are you doing today?"
Questions
Don't remember questions in snapshot. Used hash-map, stacks, and recursion.
Phone Interview: An m*n matrix filled with 0's and 1's. Find the maximum number of squares that have all 1's in it.
