Process
I attended a company info session hosted by a university recruiter. There was a resume drop the next day, and that is how I got the interview opportunity.
I was contacted by the university recruiter to select my availability. The interview was conducted via video call and a shared editor.
Questions
They asked a data structure question involving hashmaps. It was an application-based conceptual question, and the interviewer was more interested in the thought process behind how to solve it instead of coding skills.
