Process
The coding screen was 45 minutes long and included two problems: a LeetCode easy and a medium. There was no ability to run code because it was a text editor only. The interviewer helpfully pasted some examples to run through. I had to walk through the code with the examples to prove it was accurate. The interviewer also probed edge cases, so make sure to prepare edge cases even if LeetCode doesn't require it.
Questions
The interviewers asked straightforward LeetCode easy and medium questions.
