Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Israel

November 30, 2024

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

3 interviews of 70 minutes each:

1 design and project presentation with manager
2 technical LeetCode interviews, each with one question.

Supposed to be a 30-minute break between each interview, but I got less time, and one of my interviews was almost 2 hours.

Questions

To return the minimum number of character deletions (from a-z) from a string, so that no letter's appearance count is equal to another letter's appearance count.

Example:

aabb -> 1 deletion, resulting in "abb" or "aab".
