Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

After I was reached out to by the recruiter, I had my first technical interview over the phone. During this interview, I had to solve one problem online within one hour.

Then I had my final round of interviews, which consisted of four different interviews with various members of the team. Each interview lasted one hour, and I had to solve either one hard problem or two medium-difficult problems.

Questions

The first problem in my first technical screening was about using Dynamic Programming.

During my last final round of interviews, which included four different interviews, the topics covered were:

  • A combination of string manipulation and string conversion
  • One Dynamic Programming problem
  • One Systems Design problem.
