Process

First, I received an email from the recruiter requesting that I complete additional information.

Then, the first round was a coding interview. The interview comprised two questions: the first was more like LeetCode Easy, and the second was LeetCode Medium.

The second round involved two questions from two SWEs. Both were difficult, though I couldn't come up with a working solution within the timeframe.

Questions

The first was about how to efficiently distribute tasks to computers on a cluster so that all tasks complete in the shortest time. You are given the difficulty value of each task and also the computation powers of each computer in the cluster.
