Process

Didn't make it past the second interview for this role. I was first given a HackerRank, followed by an approximately 45-minute CoderPad interview with an engineer. Both the interview and coding challenge were relatively normal data structures/algorithms questions. The interview question was LeetCode hard (asked to do in log n time).

Questions

Implement a stack with a max pop method.

Data structures and algorithms coding challenge.
