Process

I had two back-to-back on-site interviews, each lasting 45 minutes and held in the same room. Both were heavily technical, focusing on programming questions, algorithm complexity problems, and debugging challenges. I was asked to write the code on the whiteboard.

Questions

I cannot reveal the question according to the NDA.

All I can say is that it is related to recursion and combinatoric math.
