Process

I was contacted for an on-campus interview but completely failed it. I heard back about three weeks afterwards. I failed the coding question, which was probably just a LeetCode medium. Some of my friends received questions that were LeetCode easy.

If I were to do this again, I would make sure to get a lot of sleep and not be nervous to the point of blanking out again.

Questions

Tell me about a time you worked on a difficult problem within a group and how you approached debugging it.
