Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days.

There were 2 rounds: the first was with the manager and the second was with a staff engineer. Overall, they were very nice people and super chill. There were basically no behavioral rounds. They asked me what my relevant experience was, and then we did some C++ debugging and also LeetCode.

Questions

First round asked me to find errors in a basic C++ class and explain.

LC was remove dups from list. Second technical was pure LC and she asked:

  • Given a list of words and a target word, is there a valid anagram subset?
  • Flatten a nested list structure (list with ints and lists).
