Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process started with a 90-minute online assessment, followed by a technical phone screen with one engineer.

The online assessment covered two medium-to-hard algorithm problems.

For coding practice, I mainly rely on LeetCode to cover different topics. For company-specific interview preparation, I use the following helpful platforms to find recent original questions:

  • Hack2Hire
  • LeetCode Discuss
  • 1Point3Acres

The phone screen included one coding problem and discussions around edge cases and time complexity.

Questions

Given a list of meeting time intervals, determine if a person could attend all meetings.
