Process
I was given a HackerRank challenge with 8 questions. Three were coding questions, and the rest were basic questions.
I was told that if I passed this round, I would have a Skype round, and then they would fly me on-site. Unfortunately, I did not make the cut in the HackerRank round.
Questions
The coding questions were fairly simple, except for the last one, which involved a binary tree. I got the logic right, but had some issues with the input.
