Process

I applied through a referral and received an email within a week to schedule the first round.

The second round consisted of three technical interviews, each 45 minutes long, with the director and senior managers.

Questions

Usual resume-related questions and coding on Python.

First round: Square a sorted array and return a sorted array.

Second round:

  1. Maximum element in a window of size k in linear time (LeetCode hard).
  2. Reverse a linked list and delete a node in a BST.
  3. Verify if a tree is a BST.
