Timeline : Applied in August 2020, received OA invitation couple weeks later

OA1: Debugging 7/7
OA2: Don't remember since it was 7 months ago, leetcode easy + medium
OA3: workplace simulation - Leadership principles.

About 2 weeks later (late August), I was rejected. Fast forward to early March, and I receive an email to schedule a 3-round (45 min each) final virtual interview.

Round 1: Dynamic Programming

Went terribly, ran out of time

Round 2 Dijkstra's Algorithm

  • Name a time when you had to learn something new
  • Given a graph and destination D, find shortest path between all nodes. Not given any graph implementation, and input is a list of edges ([1,2,3] = Node 1 to Node 2, distance 3). Had to implement my own adjacency list and "nodes"

Not too bad, ran out of time to finish implementing, interviewer understood the logic/algorithm

Round 3 Design/OO

  • Name a time when you improved something
  • Given huge database of sentences, write a class to find most frequently used words

Forgot about my heaps :(, chose a map instead since I was only given 15 mintues to implement

Will update status as I find out
