Notes

The problems definitely seemed to increase in difficulty for the on-site, not sure if that's necessarily true across the board, though. I also noticed that some of the problems were templates of common LeetCode questions but with an additional twist. In that regard, it definitely helps to know why a solution works and to comprehend it fully. I did interview prep for about 6 months and performed well on my other interviews but this one in particular I found to be quite difficult. Decent experience overall but they are definitely looking for LeetCode-robots.
