Process

The interviewer was multitasking while interviewing me, and he was doing it effortlessly.

He began by saying it would be a 1-hour interview, with the first 45 minutes for DSA and the last 15 minutes for HR questions. He then began without asking for an introduction and pasted the question to the doc.

I was able to come up with a solution within the allotted time, so I briefly explained it to him. He asked me to code it up after clarifying and understanding my approach.

After I was done, he gave another follow-up, to which I gave multiple approaches, but not the one he expected. However, he appreciated that I tried approaching it in multiple ways.

He then asked some common HR questions during the last 15 minutes, and the interview ended successfully.
