Process

I first spoke with a recruiter who was very helpful and kind.

The first actual interview was with Karat. This made the interview a bit weird, as the interviewer did not seem excited to be there and was not very helpful, differing from interviews with engineers at other companies.

She asked three runtime questions and two LeetCode-style questions, the second being an optimization of the first.

Questions

Find the left top corner and width and height of a rectangle of zeroes within a 2D matrix. The rest of the elements are 1's.
