Process

I applied for the job online and received a phone interview invitation from a senior software engineer. It was two 45-minute interviews about coding.

There was no discussion about projects. The coding was done in Google Docs; no compilation was needed, but I had to write the time complexity for each step.

Questions

  1. Detect illegal nodes in a tree which have a cycle.
  2. Find the missing value in the array from 0 to n.
