Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online, and the process took four days.

There were typical LeetCode-style questions. It was proctored and was done on HackerRank. If you are preparing for this, I would get used to HackerRank and how their environment is for coding.

Questions

There were 3 questions. One was on Dijkstra's algorithm, and the third was a bitwise question. I can't seem to remember what the second one was.
