Process

I had two back-to-back technical phone interviews.

Both interviewers jumped right in and started asking algorithm and coding-based questions.

They began at a low level to assess my ability and then proceeded from there.

Questions

I was asked to evaluate run times of matrices and how to add and change values based on sums.

Was this helpful?
