Process

I applied in October and received and aced my OA in November (two LeetCode medium DSA questions). They scheduled me for interviews months later.

I had two back-to-back interviews, 45 minutes each. These consisted of one or two behavioral questions and a DSA question (LeetCode mediums, but on the easier side).

I answered the questions well and was able to solve all of the coding questions fairly easily and clearly.

Questions

Behavioral:

  • Take me through the project you are most proud of.
  • What was a time where you faced conflict within a group?

Technical:

  • Merge intervals (LeetCode)
  • Find the second largest element in an array in O(n), then adjust the solution to find the nth largest element in an array.
