Process

Interesting questions with follow-up that tackle scale, generics, and handling arbitrary input/conditions. The interviewers were friendly and well-prepared. I did not feel rushed by them at all.

Recommendations for others:

  • Identify proper DS(s) to use.
  • Identify a brute-force solution first.
  • Manually solve by hand.
  • Identify Big O before even writing code.
  • Identify computational/space bottlenecks.
  • Reduce to sub-problems and/or optimize.
  • Code it out.
