Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I participated in a virtual phone screening, during which I was presented with a coding challenge. In this exercise, I was tasked with calculating the size of the largest island that could be formed from the remaining water-based cells in a grid. This required me to analyze the data structure effectively and implement an algorithm to identify connected regions. The challenge aimed to evaluate my problem-solving and programming skills in a remote setting.
