Process
This interview took place in 2019. I was asked a bunch of LeetCode-style questions and a few personality questions. The questions were probably equivalent to medium-level on LeetCode, so they were manageable if you did some study and practice. Ultimately, I was rejected, likely due to a lack of experience and fumbling one of the questions.
