Got an invitation to so lve the OA for this role like 10 days ago. I was satisfied with my sol considering it was not easy to implement within the duration given in the coding section - because there were more theoretically optimal solutions came into my head that gonna be better for genreal cases with general consts , but I sticked to my first sols which were slightly tied with the most optimal ones thus I submitted them after a long hesitation and yet still managed to solve and submit before the deadline ends by 15 mins + passes all the 2 coding questions tests by first and second try :) . the rest of the OA were Amazon LP and behavioural questions which were easy ...
