Process
The interview process included:
- Two rounds for hard LeetCode questions with future colleagues.
- One round for behavioral questions with a hiring manager.
They emphasized a strong preference for Dynamic Programming (DP) in LeetCode problems, so please prepare for that. However, I received no response after the last round.
Questions
LeetCode: Medium to Hard, especially Dynamic Programming.
