Process
I had a phone interview with an engineer from Google.
We exchanged greetings for a while, and then we immediately moved on to an algorithm question. It was a difficult problem that required a DFS solution.
During the interview, we discussed the approach, and the interviewer provided some hints. In the end, I figured out the solution to the problem, but I didn't have enough time to finish coding it.
