Process

The interview process included two 45-minute phone interviews.

For each interview, we first discussed my resume, then moved on to coding questions, and finally, I asked questions.

Coding questions:

  1. Gas station problem, solved by dynamic programming.
  2. Correct binary search tree.

These questions were not very difficult, but I was too nervous.

Tips for future interviewees: Don't be nervous.
