Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took two weeks.
The interviewers for the technical interviews were kind and considerate about the back-to-back interviews that I was having that day. It was overall an OK experience, but it did not materialize in a job offer.
Questions
One of them was a coding question on the whiteboard about a sliding window pattern.
