Process

The interview process consisted of two technical interviews conducted over the phone, using a shared Google Doc.

Questions focused on:

  • Runtimes of various data structures
  • Bitwise operations

The interviews also tested knowledge of basic data structures and how to handle them at larger scales.

Overall, it was a positive experience, although there was a significant delay in their response to my initial application.

Questions

Know how to do bitwise operations effectively!
