[Round 4 - DS/Algo - Bar Raiser] (1.5 hours)

  1. An algorithmic-design problem with very less information given. I had to ask of lot of questions to simplify the problem. Ultimately, the question was a leetcode medium based on matrix and DFS.
  2. An extension of above question that can be solved with multiple approaches. I don't think there was one single optimal answer to this question. Discussion involved use of various data structures with pros/cons.

[LP] Couple of questions on Customer Obsession.
Why do want to leave previous company?

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer! :)
