Process
I was contacted by a recruiter via email to schedule a phone interview.
I was given about 12 days to prepare. The phone interview was 45 minutes long.
The questions were related to strings and required applying some form of recursion to achieve a log n time complexity.
After three weeks, I received a call from the recruiter stating they would not be moving forward with my application.
Questions
Questions related to strings. It is required to apply some sort of recursion to get the result in log n time.
