Process

The phone screen was conducted for the teams, featuring easy data structures questions and a scenario based on what data structures to use when. I also got a scenario of designing a hashing algorithm for partitioning purposes, which talks about different ways of solving it and how to implement that using Hashmaps.

Questions

There were DSA questions, such as when to use HashMaps versus Queues versus Stacks.
