Interview questions [1]
Question 1
the longest path in binary tree and Merge Scheduling Problem
made it to final round. all technical rounds were from bloomberg tagged. they care about communication process, when i was stuck or wrong i explained clearly what i was trying to achieve
Fairly common process. I didn't prepare sufficiently and got rejected. HR Screen then technical interview where I got rejected. Interviewer was helpful through the process. Padding with words to fill limit now.
Technical Screen. Scheduled a week after applying. Overall very fast and very nice people. Got a very chill interviewer and was expected to solve 2 leetcode mediums in 40 minutes
