Interview Process

The interview consisted of two main parts: coding questions and behavioral questions. For the coding section, I was given a prompt to solve a problem related to tree traversal. The interviewer was very helpful and asked leading questions to guide me through the problem-solving process. In the behavioral part, I was asked about my previous projects and team experiences. It felt more like a conversation rather than a strict Q&A. Overall, I felt it was a good mix of technical and soft skills assessment.

Technical Questions

  1. Binary Tree Inorder Traversal (Tree, DFS)
  2. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree (Tree, DFS)
