Process

The first interview was with HR, which wasn't bad. The second interview was a technical interview that featured a LeetCode-style question, which was a BFS or DFS-style problem. Prep well. I couldn't finish the question, so I couldn't get to the next round.

Questions

The question was related to BFS and DFS, and it was difficult.
