Coding Question: 35-40 minutes
Return all the triplets from a given array, which sum to a target value
e.g. array = [ -1, 0, 2, 3, 5, 6], target = 1
output = [ [-1, 0, 2] ]

• The interviewer gave a very vague description at first.
• Discussed all the possible scenarios and the constraints I should take into account.
• Discussed all the possible approaches that we could use to solve this, starting from brute force, to a possibly over-optimized approach (suggested by the interviewer herself, just for discussion).
• Implemented the optimal solution.

The whole problem was basically a slight variation of the problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/3sum/

Behavioral: 10 minutes

• Asked 2 situational questions from my previous experience and their outcomes

Finally, I asked her a couple of questions. The interview went a bit overtime.

Got the offer within a week.
