Process
Apply during the campus career fair.
Two rounds of back-to-back interviews, 45 minutes each.
The first round went well; the engineer was friendly, and the question was pretty easy.
The engineer for the second round was not patient and seemed uninterested in anything I said. I didn't solve the second question.
Questions
Strings, integers, and maps were encrypted using certain rules. The task is to decrypt a string based on these rules and return a map. You should write helper functions and keep calling them while looping through the string.
