Process

There were two technical phone interviews.

The interviewers were extremely nice and, after the interview, let me ask any questions I wanted.

I would follow the slides they give you for preparation, as well as doing some prep questions from HackerRank.

Questions

The first interview started with some questions about my background.

There was a technical question about entering a number and returning an alphabet character. I made the function, but then he told me that he wanted me to use binary conversion in the function, which I forgot how to do.

The second interviewer went right into the question about the deletion of a binary tree.
