Process
The first interview was cancelled on me, and then the second one ended in five minutes. I got sent a Google Doc with three data structure and algorithm questions, including BFS and Two Pointer. I took a couple of minutes to familiarize myself, and the guy cancelled on me before I could write anything.
Questions
There was a BFS question and two pointers within a Google Doc. There was no code editor.
