Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
There was a Lytmus online coding challenge that you were given 12 hours to complete. It consisted of 3 questions that others here have talked about.
I probably could have interviewed earlier, but it took a while for the recruiter to send me the coding challenge. I then proceeded to an online phone interview around a week later.
Questions
The questions were relevant to their product and focused on basic data structures and algorithms. I provided a brute-force solution and then had to optimize it.
