Process
Standard LeetCode hardware, plus a group interview. Nothing one wouldn't expect from IBM.
The interviewer was very helpful in answering any queries I had regarding the question, but wasn't quite willing to divulge anything else.
Questions
A* DSA Q in C++, although I had the option to use C.
Was this helpful?
