Process
I had two technical phone rounds. I cleared the first round but was rejected after the second round.
They asked two design questions and two coding questions in total. The design questions were not framed properly, and one of them I felt was actually an algorithm question.
After trying to ask for more details and discussing what information I would need to solve the problem optimally, the interviewer told me that he was expecting a design answer.
Questions
Design question, coding question related to linked lists.
