I applied to the new grad role online and received the HackerRank assessment shortly after. The online assessment was a simple graph question, assessing which nodes are accessible from specific starting positions given a limited travel distance.

After that, I was quickly reached out to for a technical video interview. There was a disconnect between what the recruiter described the interview to be and what it actually ended up being. The recruiter said the interview would have resume questions, knowledge questions, and "potentially a coding question".

The first thing my interviewer told me when we started was that this interview would be solely a coding interview. Not a big deal because I was expecting a coding question either way, but just something to note.

The question wasn't too complicated, and I felt I had a good grasp of what to do in order to solve it efficiently. My interviewer was very nice and accommodated for technical issues I had at the start of the interview, and she was great with answering questions at the end.

That being said, I didn't move forward.

Hackerrank: Simple graph question, assessing which nodes are accessible from specific starting positions given a limited travel distance.

Video interview: Given a list of dictionaries, each storing a sender, receiver, and message, determine who has received or sent the most messages (each message must be unique; otherwise, it doesn't count).
