Interview questions [1]
Question 1
“One of the questions they asked me was to solve a problem on arrays where I had to find the longest subarray with a given sum. I explained my brute-force approach first and then optimized it using a hashmap to achieve better time complexity.
I completed three rounds of interviews for the position, including technical assessments that evaluated my coding proficiency through practical problem-solving exercises designed to test relevant software development skills and knowledge.
Was given a leetcode problem within the first 4 mins of the interviewer. Wish I was making this up. Interviewers did not really introduce themselves besides names, straight to the code problem.The interview felt extremely cold. No soul, no passion, no discussion
Asked very scripted questions and everyone took a lot of notes. I really enjoyed the people I spoke with and they really made me think about the role and my past
