Process
The technical interview was structured as 3 questions over 2 hours. I didn't make it past the technical interview despite answering many of the questions correctly. This was done last year, and I got the opportunity by participating in a hackathon.
Questions
One of the questions was: "Water Contained" on LeetCode.
