Question 1
Top view of the binary tree. Reverse a linked list. Inversion count in array.
Terrible communication. I had to chase down the recruiter several times. Interviews were all 30 minutes which was a very short amount of time to vibe with people, especially when interviewers are 10 minutes late.
Nice and positive atmosphere. Talked to 5 engineers and team lead. Everything from experience to the task. Covered javascript basics, frameworks that I will be working with. How far I'm in the studies.
First round was the online assessment round on HackerRank. I was asked two questions of DSA, 4 aptitude questions (MCQs) and 4 CS fundamental (MCQs). The questions were of Medium difficulty.
