Process

Four interviews were conducted on one day in Pittsburgh.

Nothing was difficult, and the interviewer mentioned that small bugs are accepted.

The questions involved typical strings, BFS, and coding skills to solve a problem; no specific algorithms were required.

Questions

In the final interview, the interviewer gave me a question that he had created two days prior. He mentioned there was no single best answer, but I suggested that the question could be solved using BFS.
