Online Assesment
I was reached out to by a recruiter and was sent an online assessment with two problems:

  1. 2Sum
  2. Shortest path BFS problem

After passing, I was scheduled the virutal onsite

Virtual Onsite
The onsite consisted of 4 1-hour rounds. All rounds began with a brief introduction from the interviewer and myself and ended with time to ask a few questions.

  1. ~45 mins of LP questions
  2. ~20 mins of LP questions, ~30 minutes of coding. The coding question was a standard BFS question, similar to some LC mediums. I solved this in about 20 minutes and was asked a more open ended coding style question but just had to explain my answer out loud.
  3. ~20 mins of LP questions, ~30 minutes of coding. The question was LC easy level, but there were followups on how to structure the code such that it is easily extendible if more features were to be implemented in the future.
  4. ~20 mins of LP questions, ~30 minutes of coding. The coding question involved object-oriented design to some extent. Probably LC easy - medium level.
