Software Engineer Interview Experience - Timişoara, Romania
Process
They will send you an automated invite to an OA 2-3 days after your application. You have 5 days to complete it.
You will have 2 hours to complete it, consisting of 2 multiple-choice questions (mine were multithreading) and 3 LeetCode-style questions. Mine were 1 medium-hard and 2 hard, all of them DP.
I did not finish the test because it kept saying my camera was not detected, but it worked on other websites. I emailed them but got ghosted.
For an internship, the questions are very hard. In my opinion, you need to be very prepared to even have a chance.
Questions
Given an amount of money and a set of banknotes (unlimited number of each one), return the minimum amount of banknotes required to retrieve the sum, or -1 if it's not possible to retrieve it.
